it was a remember-able Saturday out at the river. the best part was hanging with my long time girlfriend Tana, whom I haven't seen in aaaagggges, and my sissy. and then there was my moment as "jane of the jungle". getting down into the Washougal River "Naked Falls" requires a strategic shimmy down a very steep decline. you have to use a rope for half of it. the decline in was something else, but the incline up. ohmeeeeeeega!
see that rope in the last photo? see that guy at the bottom of the photo with all the bags? [hard to make out, but he's holding about 4 bags stuffed with blankets, pillows, mags, and such]. now picture me. picture me starting the climb up, loosing my footing, and holding on to that rope for dear life. with those four massive stuffed bags hanging from my body. see me swinging back and forth, from one side to the other, in slow motion, yelping "aaaaaaaahhhh" for all of Naked Falls to hear. and hear Tana up above dying laughing and yelling "jaaane of the juuuungle!!"
yes. THAT happened. talk about mortifying. after I finally dropped myself back down on the rock, after poor Karley fell and about slide herself into a hole of water trying to catch me, that nice man in the photo ran up and took all our bags and brought them up to the top for us. he earned himself some good karma and possibly helped avert a death by stoopid at the falls that day.

awww that looks like fun! I didn't get any water time this weekend so I hope you enjoyed yours enough for the both of us, Ms. Jane!
Except for the part where you have to rope climb, that place looks heavenly!!!
You and your sister look SO much alike. So gorgeous. And that place looks like a blast!
But you had a blast right? This is so cool. This is a good day... A blanket, magazine and great family and friends.
man, the pnw has some beautiful spots doesnt it? I'm looking forward to next summer when there is no longer a baby growing in my belly so i can go on some fun excursions like this!
I had something similar happen to me in San Diego. Happy you're alive to tell about it Mama!
