We stopped by the office this morning and asked about hikes in the area. The nice couple who run the office suggested a trail that starts behind the big white historical house. We walked over (it's quite near the RV park) and found a trail starting up the hillside behind the house. At the top of the hill there's a sign indicating that the trail, called Robin's Way, is part of a historic wagon trail in the area. We followed it as it wound along the cliffside behind some residences and finally came out in a Troutdale residential area.
The entire area is green and beautiful, with lots of wildflowers as well as cultivated flowers. We walked down Buxton back to the Historic Columbia River Highway and explored the Depot Park a bit. The Depot Museum was closed, but we walked down under the railroad bridge, and Ken took this photo across the Sandy River looking at our RV park.
We watched Mr. Holland's Opus on TV and an Inspector Lewis episode of Masterpiece Mystery that we had recorded. Tomorrow we have to get up early to go pick up Edie and Annie for a trip to the airport, where we'll also pick up Chris and Shawn returning from Billings.
