Benson State Park.

Dave fishing
This is what 14 yr old girls do for fun- text.
What a view.

We ended up picking up Gabby at Cascade Locks. So when you go

there you have to stop at the Ice Cream Shop, they have massively large cones.

We waited over by the mural of the BRIDGE OF THE GODS.
A closer look.

Dave took Michelle up to Timothy Lake fishing. They caught 3 large trout.

We took a drive up to see Dave's family and I could not resist taking these pics.

Facts about Multnomah Falls:

The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). Multnomah Falls is the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States after Yosemite Falls.[1]
