waterfall wrap-up

so by the time friday rolled around, i was sick as a dog. poor kirsten had put in enough couch time, so we got out and drove to the gorge. the scenic columbia gorge highway was closed for a spell, so we missed a few of the good waterfalls, but we made it to the big daddy: multnomah falls. it's about 620 feet tall (2nd largest in no. amer., so i've heard) top and bottom combined. it's pretty impressive. i didn't venture on the short hike to the bridge spanning the second tier of the falls, but kirsten did. once she sends me pics, i'll post em. anyway, on the way back we stopped quickly at wakanea falls (i don't know if that's the real name of it--i sorta made that up). whatever it's called, it's not that impressive. i mean, if you see it after multnomah, you're in for a pretty big disappointment. but a waterfall is a waterfall, am i right? apparently you can't swing a dead cat in oregon without hitting a waterfall, or a scenic overlook. so i guess that's something.
