We haven't posted a in awhile... so I really wanted to feature this place since it happens to be Friday today when we got up to this point in the trip posts.

While driving along the Columbia River Gorge east out of Oregon, we stumbled upon this Indian food truck right off the exit in a small lot. Honestly, if I happened to just drive by without reading about it first and specifically looking for it, we probably would've skipped it or not even noticed it. But, while searching Google Maps in the area for dinner, I found this Indian place with really high ratings and great reviews about how delicious and authentic the food was, so we were sold. 

I didn't even realize at first it was a food truck, not that I'm opposed to food trucks, just fyi when you're looking for it. Took us a few turns to find them. It turns out they also have a small building in the lot with nice indoor seating to eat your food, TVs, a play area for the kids, and clean bathrooms. The family that owns it was super nice too. Always glad to support a local 'mom & pop' business. And yes, the food was indeed delicious!! I'm still craving more.

This was one of our favorite surprise finds on this trip! So, if you're ever in the area, stop by! I've included their Maps listing in the pics.

Road Trip Cont'd - After a fun visit in the Pacific Northwest, it's time to start heading back east. But, don't worry, there are plenty of beautiful sites and National Parks to visit along the way.

The first one is the gorgeous Multnomah Falls waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. It's set against a serene woodsy background and is way taller in person than it does in these photos. Worth a quick stop if you're ever driving by. It's an easy short walk over to the viewing area at the base of the falls from the parking lot along the road. Then it's up to you if you want to hike up to the bridge in the middle or even to the very top!

Road Trip Cont'd - Next, we make a quick stop at Mount Saint Helens. Do you remember when it erupted?

Mount Saint Helens is a volcanic peak in the Cascade Range in southwestern Washington. Its eruption on May 18, 1980 was one of the greatest volcanic explosions ever recorded in North America.

Road Trip Cont'd - As with all other visits to National Parks, we start off with a stop at the Mount Rainier Visitor Center to learn more about the park. Luckily, we managed to catch a Ranger tour as well. If you're ever at a park in time to do a ranger tour, do it. They're always so informative!

If you have a trip in the coming week to Florida, you've probably heard about the State of Emergency declared for the state due to impending severe storms. As of this afternoon, Aug 2, 2024, I have not heard of any theme park closings yet, but I'll post updates here as I hear about them.
Universal and Disney have stated that they are operating as usual for now.

Road Trip Cont'd - One of the scenic beach stops was to find the Tree of Life in Forks, Washington.

Over the years, a stream behind the tree eroded away the cliff along the beach that it grew on. So now, its whole root system is exposed and it looks like it’s just floating, only suspended by a few of its roots. It’s really amazing!

Road Trip Cont'd - More pics inside the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park. This is located along the Western edge of the park and is one of the last temperate rainforests in the United States. There are several trails through the forest where you can walk among a canopy of moss and ferns. Really out of this world looking. Really neat! More pics to come from here. Stay tuned...

This is a very large park so we barely scratched the surface over two days. We'll definitely come back. Even so, I have tons of pics to show you what it's like there. I'll need to post them over several days.

Road Trip Cont'd - We've reached Olympic National Park in the northwest corner of Washington State! Another beautiful park!

This is a very large park so we barely scratched the surface over two days. We'll definitely come back. Even so, I have tons of pics to show you what it's like there. I'll need to post them over several days. First, let's start with a visit to one of the Visitors Centers.

Road Trip Cont'd - While in Seattle, we had to go to Pike Place Market! This place had tons of food stalls. Wish we had more stomachs to try more things. This time around, we got a chowder sampler, a Polish pastry, and some dumpling soup. Yummm!
