the girlfriend and i drove down to the multnomah falls outside of troutdale oregon. we hiked up to the top of the falls, one mile hike (didnt feel like one mile lol) it was raining when we got there but we decided to go up anyways, luckily it stopped when we were about halfway up. in 96 a boulder that weighed as much as a school bus filled with cement (their words, not mine) fell from the upper waterfall and landed in the upper pool and sent a 78 foot wall of water splashing onto the bridge where a wedding was happening (LMAO).

onto the pics













columbia river




look at all those switch backs

Whoever took the photographs has a knack for the camera, they look professional. That's a beautiful place.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.
