CASCADIA #17 - The Enigmatic Columbia Gorge
Cascadia was born of fire and ice. A string of 19 volcanic peaks stretch from Canada to California. Sulfur, lava, ocean mist, evergreens, and fog commingle to create one of world's most haunting, mysterious realms. Venture with me into the Cascade Mountain range.

Episode Intro:
In the wee hours one summer morning while driving home from a concert held at the Gorge, an outdoor venue near the banks of the Columbia River Gorge, I was helping my friend, who was driving us back to Seattle, stay awake. I took my duty seriously and as the landscape passed out the windshield, I noticed a car's occupants as we passed them. The occupants all wore white sheets, not even their eyes or mouth exposed. To say it was odd is quite the understatement. It was downright chilling. As I told my friend about what I'd seen, we looked out at the road ahead with even more vigilant eyes and witnessed a bright object vault across the starry sky. And then I turned around to track the van with the strange occupants and it was gone.
I'd forgotten about the incident, marked it down to both of us being exhausted. And we never spoke of it again.
But as I prepped our episode today, the memory moved to the front of my brain files.
It's all the more reason we need to take a good long look at the enigmatic Columbia Gorge.
Let's get into it.
