I don't know why it took me so long to go to this place, but on Saturday I threw myself in this mystical spot called Dougan Falls in the Washougal River in near Camas, Washington.About half an hour's drive from Portland, a 30 mile stretch of road follows the water, allowing frolickers to pull off just about anywhere and jump in, with varying depths and currents. Some spots are perfect for a lazy tube ride, others, like the one we went to, are prime for amateur cliff jumping. Here the water was crystal clear and cold, but not go-into-shock cold, and deep enough in spots that you couldn't touch the bottom.
And the best part? I got myself some water socks. Amphibian feet technology has come a long way since 1992. I was shimmying up those wet boulders like it was nobody's business.
