To friends who have never been to the area before, I can relate how odd it is to hear the fact that I cross between two states every day when I head into work.  That said, a picture is worth a thousand words as the saying goes, so I've attached a Google Map of my daily route to work.  I start off in White Salmon, WA and drive into Hood River, OR.  Total driving distance one way = 3.8 miles.  It's actually a little shorter when I go home because there's a one way road headed back into White Salmon, but it's a pretty good approximation!  (and yes, that blue-grey patch in the middle of the photo is the Columbia River)

I love my short commute!
