Kayaking on the Willamette

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day; just perfect for trying out our new kayaking skills on the Willamette River.
The Oregon City bridge was built in 1922 and recently renovated.  Some motorcycle gangs require their new members to ride up and down the arch.  The concrete is about 4 feet wide and very steep.  Crazy! 
We paddled down to Willamette Falls, which has the 2nd largest average volume of water of any waterfall in the US.   That is hard to believe when you look at this photo!  Our guide said that it was almost the 'Willamette Cliffs' tour. There is not much water right now.  Still a fun day and so great to still be enjoying the sun!
