Fire in The Gorge
Monday, May 2nd, 2022
Fire In The Gorge, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, framed size 27H x 33W”.
Known as the Eagle Creek Fire, on Sept 2, 2017 a wildfire lit by a 15 year old destroyed 50,000 acres in the Columbia River Gorge, mostly in Oregon with some fires in WA. The fire burned for three months and Hwy 84, a historic route into and out of Portland, was shut down for much of that time, forcing travelers, including me on my way to Alberta, to take side-routes. That year there were forest fires in the mountains all along the drive north, and a border patrol officer commented, “You have ashes all over your car”.
