Hmmm, Camp Kalama...what can I say? It's a fisherman's camp along the Kalama River and I-5. It's a fairly nice campground and convenient to visiting with our friends in the area, but, boy-oh-boy, fisherman are a dirty lot. And after they cleaned and filleted their salmon, the guts and heads were thrown back in the river...nasty!
But we spent some wonderful times with our friends. Don & Jeanine, who are old school friends of Norman's, treated us to fresh caught salmon out of the Columbia River BBQed. Then we sat on their porch high on a hill and watched the Columbia roll by as the lights of Portland and the smaller communities along the river came on at dusk. It was spectacular!...We did a few estate sales in the area (Longview to Ranier) with Tom & Cheryl. Bought a few things doncha know...a brass pineapple clock for the bathroom...picture that! And before we left them we gorged on homemade rhubarb and apple pies from fruit right in their yard.
I should say...we did watch several nice salmon or steelhead...whatever...hauled in the few days we were there, but no one offered us one...drat!
