October in Oregon

Image
Fall 2010 Here I am in Portland, Oregon.  World Co-ordinates 45° 31' 24 N - 122° 40' 34 W 50 miles from the Pacific Ocean The October winds are chilled, leaves are falling, and it rains. Not just any rain. Cold rain.  Almost everyday. It is the coldest rain I have ever felt. I guess this is the weather signature of the Pacific Northwest. I see a place called Fanno Creek while driving around. Although I was on my way to the organic cafe for lunch and I am super hungry, I can't resist. I pull over in the Nature Park parking lot paved with rustic log fence posts and read the trail map. I decide to go hiking, since afternoon rain just let up. The trail starts flat, then winds alongside a residential area. About 25 minutes into my walk the path gets smaller, the trees denser, and all sounds of traffic and modern day life melt away. I find the creek, and trees exploding into a kaliedoscope of intense deep colors, leaving a palette of leaves on the path. I enjoy my

Cruising the Historic Columbia River Highway

World Co-ordinates 45 42'17 N - 121 47'30 W Historic Columbia River Highway Multnomah County, Oregon Where in the World am I?  I am in a green Firebird with T tops off, driving down narrow winding roads of the Historic Columbia River Highway.  It is a picture perfect Summer day, with golden sunlight so bright it lights up the trees, forest and wildflowers in almost surreal neon colors. I feel like I'm coasting thru a high dynamic range world. The car's motor is purring like a panther in harmony with the open road.  Mesmerized, I cruise past covered wooden bridges, country lanes, and white picket fences lining parts of the highway. The wind blows thru my hair with a cool breeze off the Columbia River to my left. To my right are Mountains of forested cliffs so close I could reach out of the car and touch them. The scents of Nature here are so pure and primal.  Miles up the road hidden in the forest is what I'm hunting for today.  I'm on my way to the Waterf
