The first major adventure we completed was Oneonta Gorge (east of Portland). We went with my uncle, cousin, and grandparents. everyone except the grandparents made it to the waterfall. The hike went through a creek and over giant logs. In total the hike is about 250 yards.
The Second adventure was Ape Caves in Cougar, Washington. The cave is a lava tube at the base of Mt. Saint Helens. We hiked underground for 1.8 miles and walked back on the surface. In the cave, we encountered giant rock piles and ten foot walls. Once again, my uncle, my cousin, dad and myself went through the cave and my grandparents waited for our return back at the parking lot.
Most of the days, we went out boating. One day, my uncle who always puts the boat in and takes the boat out, and everything else did not come. So we had to do it from what we knew. It was a nice day on the river. My dad went water skiing and I went tubing. When my dad water-skied, I drove the boat. It was my first time pulling a water-skier and it took me a couple tries to figure out how to get him to stand up, and finally I figured it out.
A week after we arrived, my dad went back to California and I stayed. During the second week, I spent many nights at my uncle's house. We played pool, listened to LPs, and burned stuff in the fire pit.
At my grandparent's house, I played golf and drove the golf cart.
One day, we went to Portland to see the Pittock Mansion.
