  We drove through the Columbia River Gorge on the trip from Spokane to Portland. It was very scenic but the photography wasn't very good from the car. This is a picture of Multnomah Falls taken at 65 mph.
Judy's niece, Jenny (L with pet snake) lives in Aloha, OR. She just became a new mom three months ago so we had to stop by and see the baby. We had another nice BBQ while visiting.
Judy's sister, Linda, with her first grandchild: David Allen (3 month old).

Debi enjoyed holding her new cousin.
David, Michelle, and I visited Powell's Books. They are the largest new & used bookstore in the world.

Phil (R) with backpacking friends Mark & Beth. Mark and Beth just got married. They met on the discussion boards of the backpacking website we were using.

Mark's trail name is Nomad. Beth's is Meerkat. (Note: my trail name is "Phil". I find it is a lot easier to remember only one name)

We dropped Michelle off at her house in Corvallis. She is attending Oregon State on an exchange program with Cal Poly Pomona.
