Good-Bye Oregon

Well, at least for this trip. And as Willow mentioned in a comment on one of my previous posts, no trip to Oregon is complete, at least for us, without a stop in "the Gorge" to enjoy the falls. That's the Columbia River Gorge in the area east of Portland where there are rocky cliffs on each side of the river which cause some very strong winds to blow down through. The Oregon side of these steep cliffs is graced with a series of spectacular falls, the largest and most well-known of which is Multnomah Falls. We stopped on our way east, homeward-bound back to Illinois.
