The view from the brand new Nancy Russell Overlook at Cape Horn. Friends of the Columbia Gorge generated more than $4 million to cover the costs of removing two homes and the construction of a circular, Americans with Disabilities Act accessible viewpoint.
Aubrey Russell shares a powerful message from his mother's undying desire to preserve the beauty of the Columbia Gorge at Cape Horn. Nancy Russell passed away in 2008. A dedication for the new Nancy Russell Overlook was held in her honor Saturday.
If Nancy Russell was still alive today, looking out at Columbia River Gorge from her new viewpoint at Cape Horn would have given her chills.
More than 300 guests felt her presence during a dedication in her honor Saturday. The morning mist hitting their faces felt like tears of joy. And as each guest shared their story about Nancy, the fog lifted and everybody could see east for miles.
