So this next Monday let's see who wins -- the windsurfers or the plein air painters; if it is super windy at The Hook, or if rain is a problem, there might not be many happy painters there. But if it is a lovely sunny day with minimal wind, then The Hook should be a fun location for us. It offers views westward down the Columbia, northward toward the bluffs of Washington, and eastward toward the Hood River Bridge and the river beyond. Let's plan to get started by 9:00. And since a couple of cool eateries are just down the road, maybe we can grab lunch together afterwards.
Driving Directions: The Hook is a windsurfing launch site located at the westernmost end of Portway Avenue in Hood River. Take the City Center exit off I-84, and head toward the river. At the second stop sign, turn left onto Portway Avenue and just keep driving until the road ends at a cul de sac with a sign saying, "The Hook." Drive down the long, straight gravel road to the end. That's where we'll get started. I'm so happy that my plans have changed, allowing me to be there too!
