  • Monday Mural | Found on Astoria Column

  • A two-tiered beauty called Multnomah Falls

    They say this place attracts one million visitors every year and in 2013 we were part of the statistics. And I am not surprised that this many people visit Multonomah Falls along the Columbia River Gorge; it really is a sight to behold. The Oregon side of the gorge...
