Washington: Cedar Creek Grist Mill

So this is the last post from our vacation to The Pacific Northwest, which we managed to take right before all the craziness with Coronavirus started and you could still travel. But before we went on our trip, there was one place that I had seen pictures of before and I really wanted to visit. Luckily it wasn't too far from Portland and I was able to squeeze in time to make a little drive up to see it one afternoon. The place is the beautiful Cedar Creek Grist Mill, located across the Columbia River in Washington.



The mill was built in 1876, and sits next to a scenic covered bridge. The bridge was actually built in 1994, and it replaced a bridge that dated back to 1934.



The trees along the creek were coated with moss, which covered the tree trunks and even the limbs and branches.



And a panoramic view of the mill and the covered bridge, as the creek rushed by below.



And the view of the bridge, which didn't have much traffic that day.



And finally, one last shot of the mill and Cedar Creek. This had been a great little trip (the only downside was that it was too short). Looking forward to making another trip up there (although I'm not sure when that will be since we will having another kid in a few months, but hopefully sometime soon!).
