Big River Run

Today we woke up on the Big River at Celilo Village. After a quick bite and repacking the vehicles, we left for Spokane but on the way would make a couple of really fascinating stops along the river.

First was the Columbia Gorge Discover Center. This stop was pretty cool. There was alot of history and really interesting artifacts here. We also got to see a few live raptor species but were not allowed to take photos during their presentations.

The first thing you see when you first enter is this turkey vulture.

After the museum, we headed down the Big River a little further to Horsethief Lake State Park.

Next, we had some lunch and headed out for Spokane. It was a long drive and I could not get pictures but the girls did keep me entertained with singing.
