Home for Kirby

A Sunday road trip: Up through the Columbia Gorge (We were floored by the burned remnants of the Eagle Creek fire - 22 miles of burned sections of forest, down to, and across, the highway in many places). We took Kirby back to many of his favorite places: Swimming in the marina and beaches of Hood River; next to Tom's father's grave in Hood River; on the eastern slope of Mt. Hood. Even when we didn't stop to leave a part of Kirb behind, we took it all in on a beautiful trip across Oregon, vine maple glowing orange, red, yellow, in these early days of autumn. The extra photos show many of these stops.
