Finally the first Bike Tour. It took 1 week from Portland to finally get on my Bike and Ride! While riding I was thinking about why travel by bike? First I really like the exercise, the flock of huge cranes that flew up while I rode by, I can hear, see & smell what an area has to offer. I feel more connected to people when I approach on bike. If I drove a car or motorcycle or rode the bus I would feel I missed so much. I’m fortunate to have this much time to do this by with a bike.
Riding through the vineyards with very little traffic
Carpets of purple flowers under the trees. They said it was wet year, by summer this place is brown (so I’m told)
You can see several overpasses are built but no road yet, due to the economic crisis all road projects were halted. Maybe Oregon/Washington’s CRC bridge project will see the same fate before it bankrupts us all.
So pretty! Did you take a nap under those trees? Safe travelllin!
No, Some fields had horses, cows, sheep and a serious barbwire fence. Best enjoyed from the road.
