On Sunday, May 18th, 2008, six of us hiked to Devil’s Rest along the Columbia Gorge, Oregon.
Devil’s Rest is a pleasant forested and shady relaxation point on top of the hill. While it doesn’t have much of a view, it’s very quiet and peaceful- no sound of road noise- with lush green surroundings. From the Angel’s Rest parking area, it’s roughly 2 miles to Angel’s Rest and another 2 miles to Devil’s Rest, getting to 2,300 ft elevation.
We also stopped at Angel’s Rest which has a great view of the Columbia River Gorge from the rocky cliffs.
Motocross can be wild and exciting. At Albany Motorsports Park in Oregon, few people attempt the enormous ‘buddy jump’. This brave guy did and you can see the ridiculous air as a result. A kid near the fence looks up in amazement.
This is a scene of an accident in-progress just after the ’sand lake triple’ jump.
