These trees are huge, like really, really huge. It’s very difficult to comprehend that they are living (or were living!) things. 
The drive to Mt. St. Helens was uneventful. We at breakfast in a little Mexican restaurant in Del Rio and kept trucking. Being the benevolent parents we are, we stopped at a Walmart in Eureka to buy the girls “Breaking Dawn.”
The big highlight of this drive was the Columbia River Gorge. OH MY was it beautiful! I knew it was the windsurfing capital (of the world, maybe?), but I didn’t have any idea it would like like it does. 
There were waterfalls scattered throughout the cliffs and the views of the continuing gorge were spectacular.
We finally got to our camp pretty late at night, maybe around 10:30pm. We set up the tent in the dark, drizzling night with the sound of a bubbling creek somewhere nearby.
