Angel's Rest, the Bagdad and Lemony Snicket

Being Portland, the bad weather loves to come out on the weekends. This means
that the theme of the city is that one goes hiking in good or bad weather--
regardless of the weather! In keeping with this trait, Clay, Maddy and I
drove out to Angel's
Rest to go hiking for the day. Though there are pictures, the
camera didn't do a particularly good job capturing images this day, as the CCD
lacks the sophistication to capture all the gradations of the fog as the
gorge walls headed back towards Portland. As far as hikes go, this was a
decently challenging one because (1) we'd been out until the wee hours of the
morning going to pubs and (2) it's hard to climb to Angel's Rest. The rocks
were still there about 85% of the way up the trail, though in the daytime it
is far easier to pick them out! Anyhow, I showed Maddy and Clay the gorge;
they were suitably impressed by the view and Washington state being across the
river.
