Description


Back in the Columbia River Gorge for a waterfall or two... With a name like that, there has to be a story, right? Check it out here ==== Starvation Creek State Park came by its name in 1884. According to the Oregon State Archives Website (2004): "... The Pacific Express train carrying 148 passengers and crew rolled out of The Dalles heading west on schedule to arrive in Portland later that day, December 18, 1884. Along the way a blizzard trapped the train between two avalanches with 25 foot high snow drifts. A relief party finally reached them on Christmas Day by foot. Among those helping the hungry passengers was "one hog who had the misfortune of being in Hood River at the time." A week later the train was able to retreat to The Dalles. It finally reached Portland three weeks late on January 7, 1885. ..." [Oregon State Archives Website, March 2004] ==== No one starved, by the way. Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

It looks like if moss were edible, they would have had plenty to eat! Wonderful cool green shot :)
