Back out to Washington again to visit Nate. This was my fifth trip, and this time I'd be spending two full weeks there. We decided we'd spend the first week in Oregon, which was cool because I had never been there. We had to stop in Portland to visit Nate's uncle John, whose lakehouse we would be staying at after the first leg of our adventure. But before we stopped in Portland we wanted to do a dayhike in the Columbia River Gorge. This picture was taken on a trail in the gorge; turns out it wasn't the trail we wanted. Rather, it was a two mile trail that apparently everyone in Oregon knew about and decided to visit that day. It was pretty though, aside from all the people.
