Multnomah Falls

The day after Christmas, we decided to go for a drive! The city and the highway's were pretty much shut down during the snow storm and this was one of the first days that all the roads were open and passable. So we took the drive out I-84 towards the Gorge and after 15 miles of clean, dry pavemant we were suddenly in 4 inches of hard slush. It made for a white-knuckle 5 mile drive. It was pretty crazy to be going 65 miles an hour on the highway and then looking off to the side and wondering why everyone is pulled over. Then you suddenly realize, the highway has not been plowed! I have NEVER seen anything like it before. But the trip was well worth it, the falls were beautiful, it is very rare that they freeze over like this.
