Sauvie Island Wildlife Area, OR






Getting ready for an overnight trip to Sauvie Island

Tinker navigating 

"Turn left here."

The only bridge to the island


A view of the river from the rv spot

Giant Zucchini 

Tinker meeting a pig.  Pigs are very intelligent, almost the same as a dolphin (read the sign anyway).

A farmer's market on the island

Onions grow half in the ground

The self pick scam.  One may pick their own produce at several places on the island.  The farmer's market costs a little less than the grocery store but this self pick cost almost twice as much as at the grocery store and the cucumbers weren't even attached to the vine.  They must have twice the labor cost, to pick cucumbers and then lay them out in the self pick sections so people can "pick there own" produce. 



The rv site was right on the river.  Large boats pasted at seemingly reckless speeds 


On the way home the tread (gater-tail) came off of the left front tire

We had a spare, a leveling jack, and a portable air pump

Tinker made it back home to her blanket of 1000 Chihuahuas
