2019 Outbound Journey
Our club visited the club from the Lower Columbia region of the state of Washington, September 17 through September 24. The Lower Columbia area is located in Southwest Washington along the I-5 corridor. The region extends from as far north as Castle Rock, WA and as far south as Vancouver, WA. The region is bordered by the Cascades Mountain Range with Mt. St. Helens on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Columbia River with its beautiful gorge area on the south, and Seattle, WA to the north. Our club members enjoyed the breathtaking scenery, sighting wildlife, and, of course, sitting around the table sharing laughs with new friends.
