After breakfast we will go to the parade staging area and make our pass through town in the parade. Remember to bring lots of candy to toss out during the parade.

 

When we get to the end off the parade we will immediately head East on I-84 and will take the Dufur exit #87 and take I-197 across The Dalles Bridge. We will stop nearby to organize ourselves and then head into Lyle, WA and begin our drive along the Klickitat River and up into the hills.
