Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, June 3, we are planning to set up our easels along Courtney Road, just off Highway 14, in Washington. The view options from that vantage point are stunning. In fact, it is a place we will probably return to again and again throughout the summer season. I drove over there to check out the best places to park our cars and paint, and the one I'm liking right now is a dirt road off of Courtney, about a mile up. Let's meet there next Tuesday to give it a try! Or, if we decide to move slightly higher up the road, that's okay, too.
Driving directions: From the Washington side of the Hood River Bridge, drive east on Highway 14 for approximately 4.5 miles. Courtney Road will be on the left. Drive up the curving road for one mile. At that point, there is a reddish dirt road on the left, and it trails off through the tall green grass. We could try parking along that road, and setting up our easels right there. Although there are no bathroom facilities at this location, there is a bathroom down at the beginning of Courtney Road, at the Coyote Wall trailhead.
Remember to bring sunscreen (and perhaps insect repellent).
This is going to be fun! I'll try to take some pictures of our group, so that I can post them in next week's blog.
