Stayed a Tucker park which was a nice camp site.

Saturday - had to drive to Jones beach to find wind. Awesome session, it's a great spot.
Sunday - checked out Arlington, sketchy launch/landing area and no other kiters so we went to Rufus. The dam just upriver was wide open and the current was really fast and we were told by the locals it wouldn't be any good. No kiters here either so we went back to the event site for a fun session before the wind died on us.
Monday - Great session kiting at the event site before the long drive home.

Lots of driving this weekend but well worth it.

Jones Beach to Arlington- wow, you covered the whole length of The Corridor in one weekend! Good thing gas is cheaper in Oregon!!
Glad you had a fun introduction to the beauty and variety of the Gorge.
