Continueing Education....or something like that

I'm chilling alone on a Friday night here in Portland. I woke up at 3:00 this morning to catch a flight out of Boise to Portland. I'm attending a conference on low back pain starting tomorrow. I'll fly home late Sunday night. The flight early this morning was the cheapest I could find, and it worked great because it gave me a day to play a little bit. I was very excited to head back up the gorge and look around a little more than we were able to do at the end of December. I ended up running one of the most scenic stretch of trail I've ever seen, all while Lori was putting in a good day at work back at home. I highly recommend the Eagle Creek Trail if any of you ever have a chance. It was snowing last time we were in the gorge, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when it snowed today for several hours.

Multnomah Falls, pretty impressive and you don't even have to hike to it.

It was so green, I felt like I was running through the jungle.

This was looking down from one of the footbridges. The picture doesn't do the place justice, the bridge is actually about 100 feet above the river and the canyon is very narrow right there. I had to lean out over the bridge a bit in order to capture the amazing shot you see above; that's right, I'm Mr. Dangerman.

This is Tunnel Falls, my turnaround point. I'm guessing the name comes from the tunnel you can go through behind the falls.
After the run, I came back to Portland and drove around for over an hour trying to find my hotel. The streets around here are a mess. Anyway, I'm planning on heading out to the coast and I'll have to post more pictures later. I love the conineuing education thing; if only all my education could have had these kind of perks.
