June 26, 2015. Columbia River respite

CAMPGROUND:  Columbia Riverfront RV Park.  Very nice commercial park. Full hook-ups.  Right on the Columbia River. Great bathrooms, laundry, library.  Pool!  $35/night.  5 stars
LOCATION: Woodland, Washington.  SW part of the state. 30 miles north of Portland, OR
WEATHER:  Hot! Sunny. Highs in mid-90s

We drove west through the SW corner of Mt. Rainier National Park.  As soon as we had cell service, we started searching for RV parks with electricity hook-ups and a swimming pool......in order to deal with the record-breaking heat.

We found this one, right on the Columbia River.  It is lovely.


We took a dip in the swimming pool.  Lovely!

The grounds are very well-kept.  This is a huge rosemary bush...

We watched some cargo ships go by and the sun set over the river.

We used the park's gas grill to cook our dinner, so we wouldn't  heat up the trailer. Like many RV parks, people seem to stay inside their rigs.  We don't understand it.  We were the only ones out enjoying the river, pool and amenities.  

DINNER:  Grilled salmon burgers and potato salad.
