Joy’s Birthday Hike

We hiked a shorter part of the Catherine Creek Trail today to celebrate my sis-in-law’s 81st. It rained all the way from Portland, then stopped when we reached the trailhead near Lyle, WA. This is some of us at a viewpoint over Catherine Creek. In the Extras is a shot of a crevice in the sheer cliff down to the highway; you can see part of the pavement. Eric and his brothers in the other: l to r: Nils, Eric, Gregg, and Gerald, the husband of a cousin.
