Unhappy Campers

Multnomah Falls 611 ft

OK, so today wasn't the best day!  Our morning started out just fine until the steel door of the trash bin flew open and bopped Kathe in the head.  She had a bump like a ping pong ball, and boy was she mad!  She put a bag of ice on her head, but she wouldn't let me lick it.

When we left Silver Falls we decided to take the "blue highway" to Ainsworth State Park.  Blue highways are the ones on the map that aren't Interstates.  Kathe and Jim thought it would be a more scenic drive.  Unfortunately, when they made a wrong turn in the town of Silverton they had to make a U-turn and tied up traffic on Main Street for several minutes.  Finally, someone backed up so we could make the turn and we were on our way.

We arrived at Ainsworth State Park and were very disappointed.  Ordinarily we love the State Parks of Oregon, but this is the first exception to the rule.  It's so tiny we barely had enough room to drive around the loop to our reserved site.
Our site is supposed to be able to accommodate a rig our size, but it almost didn't.  There was extreme maneuvering on Jim's part and much tearing out of hair on Kathe's part before we were sort of in our camp site.  We are so off level that everything is running down hill.  I am NOT sleeping on Jim's side of the bed tonight because I might fall off. We will not be staying here for three nights as we planned, we have to move on tomorrow to a level campground.

Horsetail Falls 176 feet

While we were here Kathe and Jim decide to do a little sightseeing.  They drove the Historic Columbia River Highway to see...more waterfalls! Multnomah Falls is the one of the most visited sites in Oregon and the second largest waterfall in the nation.  Horsetail falls is just a few miles down the highway the Oneonta Gorge and sprays water from a height of  176 feet.

Where will we be tomorrow?
