Fall 2023 photos?

[pdedse]

That's funny about the cel tower to tree disguise. One got me once here in Oregon as I was riding through a forest. Saw a very strange looking tree, even backtracked to snap a photo of it and only then did I realize what it was.

Beautiful 50f day and time to ride in the afternoon. Seems I always ride east and south, or south and east, mainly because it's fine country / forest riding and that way I can stay clear of Portland traffic.

But there is one road that draws me west from time to time: the Wilsonville Rd going west of the town with the same name, south of Portland. It's on the north side of the Williamette river. Hazelnut tree farms, horse ranches and other small farms make for wonderful fall riding.



Not necessarily a fall photo...St. Paul Cathedral in...St. Paul, small town of less than 500.


Leaves just starting to turn


The I-5 corrirdor is "bleh" but on both side there are many country roads that are a joy to ride, leaves contantly coming at you as you motor along the roads. Did a 115 mile circle route. And just after crossing back over to the east side of I-5, traffic stacked up in Woodburn for 10 minutes. Kind of tortuous to sit there after you just ride through idyllic rural roads, and just a mile ahead you know more such roads away you.



But once free and clear, more forests and fall colors


Weather app says no rain and mainly 55 degree days till middle of next week.
