You
would think that I would have noticed the trees planted in wind brakes all
around the campsites, but I was surprised at how windy it was at the
campground. Turns out that it’s OK most
of the day, but late afternoon every day the winds pick up and sweeps this
Columbia river valley. There was no way
to eat dinner outside. Somewhere in the
middle of the night the winds stop.
Up north it is cottonwood season. This
is the place where cottonwood “cotton” goes to die.
On
our next day traveling we saw lots of dust devils (little tornedoes) both
little and large. I’m not sure why we
see so many dust devils while traveling.
Once we saw six of them at the same time with most of them circling in a
bigger dust devil. Very cool.
