Erin's Visit

Erin came into town for a week long visit. She had just taken the bar and had some free time before starting up work. She helped us with some house decorating, and we also went on three trips.


Erin and Janel first did a quick Gorge Tour. Below is a picture of Erin at Wahkeena Falls.

We were planning on making a camping trip to the coast over the weekend, but that fell apart when it was 103 degrees in Portland and the entire city made an exodus out there. So on Saturday we took a day trip to Lookout Point. We started out to the point, but I decided I was not a fan of the big cliffs on the trail, so we walkded down to the South Beach instead. I am a big fan of beaches that you have to hike to, and this one did not disappoint. Afterwards we scoped out the big beach on the north side of the point (with the campground). It was pretty amazing -- that beach was completely fogged in while the south beach was great.

On Sunday we took a trip down to Silver Falls. I left my camera at home, so no photos :(. As always, Silver Falls was great, but it was definitely not as good this time of year as it is at other times. The water was not flowing nearly as much as it does in the Spring or even Winter.
