July 29-August 5
Washington, Oregon
- Left camp and went to Eagle Creek area to hike. Hiked about 2 miles in and saw 3 waterfalls (Metlako, Lower/Upper Punch Bowl). Trail was pretty treacherous , with a 100-foot fall directly to the side of the trail, and no rails/ropes - but we're men.
- Ate breakfast at a restaurant that had Indian artifacts everywhere. Brad had marionberry pancakes (recipe). Went to Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery where we saw a 450 pound sturgeon! Very cool - a must-see.
- Drove to Portland and checked into the Days Inn downtown. Had a beer at the Marketplace Pub and then took the streetcar to the Pearl District. PD is an eclectic neighborhood in the city that prides itself on trying to hard, it appears to us. Cool area though. Had a beer at a restaurant called Paragon, then walked around and checked out some shops.
- Hit up the Bridgeport Brewery and had beers/pizza along with bad service (see, we don't forget these things). Went to Rogue Brewery and had (lots of) beers. Took the streetcar back downtown and had a beer at Marketplace
- Temperature today was about 75ยบ.
- Mileage 465 total/63 today.
