Met my brother at Multnomah Falls. I think this is the 2nd highest waterfall in the USA. We decided to try hiking the 3.2 mile loop, but ended up going at least 5 miles. Zayna got carried quite a bit by uncle Joe, but the rest of the Zees made it around on their own power. Wildlife sightings include a soaring bald eagle and plenty of giganto banana slugs. We also found some plants that looked like big clovers, but tasted like sour apples. Joe assured us they were safe to eat; no ill side effects yet. Zacky said he'd lick a particularly large banana slug if Monica (his cousin) did first. Unfortunately for Zacky, Monica seems to have an adventurous spirit, and a minute later they both had numb tongues, presumably from some slug secretion. Zeo decided to take a short cut on a switchback, and ended up in a crying heap at the bottom. If he does that a couple hundred more times, he might learn his lesson. The mistreated slug is shown below.
