We headed out the Columbia River Gorge on a beautiful Spring morning, and crossed over the river into Washington to Catherine Creek , to look for wildflowers, to get out of the house and its routine, and to test the range of our electric car battery. Success all around! Nancy wrote about it on her blog; here are my photos.
