March of 2018 Paula and I took our Escape 19' trailer to visit the Utah National Parks. Upon leaving our home we learned that Snoqualmie pass was closed over the Cascade mountains.  So we pivoted to Portland, OR and up he Columbia Gorge. Pulling out of Pendleton, OR it was getting late so we stopped for the night at Emigrant Springs State Park.  Fortunately they had a few spots plowed.  What a way to start a trip!
