TdA one month

Still trying to extend the mail hold at home, which has a maximum period of one month. It seems that, I cannot do it online until the time is up, and then have a new request!?!
Yes, we're on our way home, first stop Hood river, Oregon. It's a windsurfer/ kiteboarder/ sailor's heaven, for its reliable strong wind in the Columbia River Gorge. Bill had spent months here windsurfing when he was younger.

Most of the vehicle here has at last a few toys attached to the top/ back/ inside. And they're not limited to windsurfers, kayaks or bicycles..... BTW, one of the best bike trail we find is the Historic Columbia River Highway - the Twin Tunnels Trail between Hood River and Mosier.
Other than pear, cherry and grapes, here's a surprise found. A small lavender field under Mt. Hood. We learn the difference between the French long stem and English sweet one.
I guess wheat doesn't take much water to grow. Most of the east Oregon desert region are endless fields of wheat.
