Over the weekend we had some friends in town from North Carolina. We were doing a dinner with several other people over in the Mission, but our reservations weren’t until 8:00. So, we decided to head over early and jump in a bar nearby. No plan on where to go, we just figured we’d wander around until we found something interesting. And, man did we do a good job!

One thing we did while visiting Portland was go for a hike. Several people recommended Multnomah Falls so it seemed like the obvious choice. It’s nestled on the edge of the Columbia River along the Oregon-Washington border. We knew there was one large waterfall there, but didn’t know much past that. We were even prepared to try somewhere else because we had been told that Multnomah gets really crowded. So, our plan B was to drive around until we saw something else interesting.
