As I said, we're at Columbia Riverfront RV Park for a few days this week. We've stayed here once before and it's a pretty park with nice views of the river from the waterfront spots, lots of nice amenties, clean, well taken care of, but it's got a weird vibe.…

This tug/barge combo passed by early this morning: Late yesterday afternoon: Ship view during dinner: Dinner turned out great.
