This is the fountain that comes up in later pictures, as well as the freighters in the River. On the right side (outside this picture) is the hot tub and on a nice sunny day I bet it is a marvelous place to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful river and surrounding landscape.

Out our patio door are two freighters I would guess waiting for their turn up river in Longview, WA to pick up unprocessed logs. As you can see from this picture the Columbia River is very wide. The land on the far side is Washington State.
