Day 143
Where the Klickitat meets the Columbia
August 16th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Beautiful area
garden staters want to know … did you walk across??
The mountains are beautiful. For more on the Klickitat River .. http://www.klickitatriver.com/
At first I thought it said Klickikat….which is me in high heels. heehee
What a shot! I love the bridge….
I kept thinking KitKat! A new river for me – never heard of the Klickitat River – And for some reason it’s very hard for me to pronounce. Klicki-tat? Klick-it-at?
I’m glad Matt is enjoying such beautiful scenery AND that Matt is sharing it with us!
Candice…we have a TON of Indian names in this area and it’s so neat to see that part of our history still exists all around. I pronounce it the first way you have listed…but not sure if that’s actually correct.
Matt, if you would like to retravel your route, I think after you get to Rockaway Beach all you will need to do is go back to Portland and get on Amtrack, you have almost followed the route from Chicago to Portland. It is time for you to sit back and relax after your walk and let them take you homeward.
I just love that name…Klickitat.
Klickitat, Klickitat, Klickitat…sounds like the trains running by on the tracks by the river.
Wouldn’t that be Klickety-klack, klickety-klack? I’m just sayin’ to me it’s what it sounds like.
I love this picture
Another great picture.
Pretty awesome looking valley there. Like the train bridge there. Nice shot.
OMG! Look how beautiful the sun looks on those hills! Nice job, Matt!
