Lotsa pics from the area: "Columbia River Gorge" along the stretch of river/rail/highway. Some spectacular views, and stunning lookout points!

I was watching the Weather Channel around noon and they were talking about how hot
it was going to get in Portland OR and showing a picture of the Columbia River Gorge
and there was smoke in the air and they were trying to figure out where it was coming from
and then they said it was a "tanker" on fire which could mean many things. Then further news
developments said it was on the Oregon side of the Columbia (UP territory) and I breathed a
sigh of relief for the BNSF. UP runs maybe a quarter of the oil trains BNSF does on the WA side.
Doesn't look as any spilt oil will end up in the Columbia River... derailment site away from the river
just enough. Still quite few peoples had to evacuate the area. Of course the newest oil-train derailment
sets into motion the whole "spiel" of the dangers of transporting oil through the GPNW always
starting off with the Quebec "runaway" oil train that kilt 47 people.

The latest on the UP oil spill: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/us/article/The-Latest-Fire-out-evacuation-remains-after-7963369.php
Watching the 10pm news the UP has determined that a "tie-fastener" caused the derailment.
With it being in the high 90's that day maybe a "sun-krink". That's a busy stretch of UP track
that has been shutdown for days. Also I-84 was/is shutdown for days.
