Thought I'd post a few pics for y'all. I went on a nice little hike with my paterfamilias on Sunday. Actually, it was from the base of Multnomah Falls, shown here, to about 4000 feet above sea level. It's a popular tourist attraction with a platform at top. You hike a mile up to it, but we wanted the trailhead further above.

From there it was pretty steep, all the way up. 7 miles one way. And of course Dad and I both were out of condition for hikes like that; we used to live, work, and play in pretty rugged country futher east in the mountains but have gotten soft from city life :oops: It was worth all the soreness and aches, though.

Unlogged forest too, rare so close to civilisation. With moi for comparison. I was trying and failing to find a dignified expression for the moment :lol:

The best part of all-it was chilly and wet, normal for fall here, but it didn't rain, which was lucky.
