The Columbia river divides Oregon and Washington, and we crossed it on the Hood River toll bridge, an old and very narrow metal bridge. It costs one dollar, has no sidewalks, and even the bridge deck is metal.
Once on the Washington side, we enjoyed a scenic drive beside the river before heading north on highway 97.
We stopped for lunch in Ellensburg at the Yellow Church Cafe - it was built in 1923 and was a Lutheran church for many years until the congregation sold it and built a newer church - the old one was a home, an office, and an art gallery before being turned into a cafe in 1997. Inside you see the high ceiling, the old fir floor, and booths made out of pews. Heavenly Bread was on the menu - how could we resist? It was warm, with cheese and garlic and was delicious!
So our Oregon adventure is now over - thanks for following along!
