Lost In The Right Direction

I am back....feel like I am running in circles....On our travels down to the Eugene area we took the Washington side then over the Dalles Bridge, Oregon....nice scenic spots to pull out and take pictures of the Columbia Gorge area....It interesting to see it from the other side.....gives you a good wide view from above instead of down at river level....lots of flowers blooming...beautiful lupine...the hills are covered in certain areas.....Mount Hood was very visible on our travels down....We had a little bit latter start coming home...lots of traffic...I thought we had pretty much decided to skip the Multnomah Falls .....leave it for another trip...before we realized it my brother had pulled into the parking lot and was kicking his wife and me out of the car and telling us to hike up and see the falls....it was worth the stop....the trail and visiting area was full of people....lovely day to hike up and admire the falls....the moss on the trees was glowing....

I am fixing to hit the road again....do this road trip all over again....this time I get to meet my new nephew....can't wait to hold him but I dread the hours once again on the road....I am going to see if I can convince my riding partners to make a stop and visit a waterfall on the way back home....maybe hike up to it...that way I can at least say I hiked in Oregon this year....at this rate I might be better off making more plans to hike in the Oregon area since I will be going that way several times....hopefully the weather is as good this weekend as it was during our last visit....rains not my thing.....I am sure if the weather is good I can spend my time taking more pictures up and down the Columbia Gorge...give me even more pictures to fill up my hard drives with....I think I will load up a pile of hiking books and entertain my riding partners with all the places I think we should hike and at the same time maybe I can convince them to take a scenic route on the way back like...
