We drove along scenic US 20. I was hoping to see all of the Three Sisters along the way, but only the South Sister was visible in the clouds.
We had lunch in Corvallis with a dear old friend from college. After a delicious stop at Interzone Cafe, we took an opportunity to resupply our dwindling grocery collection at the newly-opened Coravllis Trader Joe's.
The Forest Service's web site tells us that, at 620 ft (171 m), Multnomah Falls is the second-tallest year-round falls in the entire US, including Alaska and Hawai'i. I have to assume Niagara is the tallest.

On the way back to Portland, we drove through the beautiful Columbia Gorge.

We had dinner at Dick's Kitchen in Portland with a group of friends, about half of whom are comic book artists. The waitress overheard us talking about drawing comics, and the owner was so happy to have a group of comic book artists in his store that he came over and brought complimentary beers for them. It was a lot of fun bringing local people with common interests together.
