Wildflowers Near Rowena Crest, OR.
Early wildflowers near Rowena Crest. This was filmed at Tom McCall Preserve, just outside the boundary of Mayer State Park. Near Mosier, Oregon. This is looking mostly up the Columbia River, towards The Dalles. The video does pan north across the river into the small town of Lyle, Washington, and pans southward towards McCall Point, and neighboring hills. Filmed April 27, 2018.

My family ties to the Columbia River run deep. My maternal grandfather was an ironworker and worked on nearly all of the Columbia River Dam projects. It was while he worked on the Dalles Dam that my mother attending High School in Lyle, WA and met my father. My paternal grandfather owned a farm just east of Lyle. I have wonderful memories of their place, much of it actually recorded in Lewis and Clark's journals. My grandmother was an early riser. I would often wake up to see her sitting in her living room looking out over their farm, the Columbia River, Memaloose Island and Mt Hood.
