The sunlit Columbia River Gorge was a great reward for driving through the sleet and slush of the mountain pass. As we drove alongside the river I looked back and saw a huge cloud of fog following us. We pulled over and and spent a few minutes watching it drift by, cooling the colors and softening the landscape as it went. Magical! The prettiest moment of the weekend.
