This park is named after an Indian tribe. Their story is that they never fought with the white settlers, they were peace loving, so a treaty was never negotiated with them. Consequently, they were never given a reservation. They are now extinct or nearly so. What is the message that can be learned from this? Peace is overrated? I don't have any idea if there is a lesson but I'm pretty sure extinction is final. We are camped on the banks of the mighty Columbia river. There is a dam a little ways down stream so we are actually on a lake that is filled with Columbia river water. This park is part of Ginko Petrified Forest State Park. We will visit that part of the park tomorrow as we are here for 2 nights.
Nice views, guess you can paddle on the lake.
