Title: Klickitat Soda Springs
Post by: Ollie8422 on April 26, 2019, 12:08:55 PM: So, next week I'm going to be heading down to Portland for work which got me thinking that maybe I should try a new area out since I'll be down that way. So, instead of driving back out to Kettle Falls I decided I'm going to give the Soda Springs area by Klickitat a try. I found a few spots on OnX that I'm going to give a try, but I'm curious if you guys have any recommendations about the area.
