Columbia river , Oregon Gorge Canyon Corbett, Oregon
This journey has been amazing. Starting out from Birmingham months ago, to cross a continent... I understand the pioneers much better. I understand Homers Odessey better. The unplanned sights all along the backroads of America... priceless.
From Birmingham across the continent to the Pacific coast of Oregon... and now it's time to head back home. But there are places and things to still see. This was an amazing day to stumble onto this.
We get on the backroads, scenic byway at corbett, Oregon... and stop at this "Portland Womens Forum" overlook... wow! ... and while there... see this thing... something down the gorge... Let's go see what this is about.
Vista Point... WOW !!! What a place !!! Beauty beyond description.
...and had to stop to pick blueberries for morning breakfast / yogurt/ oat gruel... There were many stops at mom 'n pop roadside stands to buy local grown produce...
?Is this a great country or what? A good day!

An Odyssey into the Abyss of Time and Life. Threw some gear in the car, took off again on another RT RoadTrip for 6 months, Trekked back roads to see what's out on the edge. Left B'ham/ Leeds, AL early Spring, returned late Sept. Plan was West to Arizona, then North through the Rockies to Glacier. Ride along on this ITW =Into The West RT to see the best back roads and scenic byways,12,000 miles in all. Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost. Copyright MCMLXIII ALL Rights Reserved
