Sunny at Silver Falls State Park

On Wednesday we visited Silver Falls State Park to walk the Trail of Ten Falls. It was spectacular.
The waterfalls were all different, and all stunning. Some slid at great speed down the rocks, others spilled over cliffs and dropped from a great height. You could walk underneath several of them and it was amazing looking out at the blue sky from behind the crashing water. 
The trail was mostly in dappled shade which was just as well because it was another hot day. James found some salmonberries growing by the side of the path which we ate, and we also tasted some Oregon Wood Sorrel which has a sharp citrus taste. It was an excellent walk.
As we passed through Silverton on our way back to the hotel I noticed a sign which said “45 degrees - halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.”
Back at the hotel we relaxed (and I swam) at the open air pool, it was great fun. In the evening we listened to an excellent musician singing Country music in the bar.
