Weekend Getaway

We foisted the kids off on unsuspecting friends and relative (okay, they knew what they were signing up for) and headed for the hills - literally - for an anniversary get-away. We drove down to a place called Silver Falls State Park in the vicinity of Salem and did their "ten waterfall" hike. One hiking book described it as 1/2 mile, 5 hours: we think the park description of 7 miles is a bit closer, though I don't think it took us 5 hours. By my count we saw only 9 waterfalls, and one was just a trickle, but by any account it was beautiful! The pics don't do it justice.
