Larwood Bridge

A few photos of Larwood bridge on our bicycle ride last week.

Autumn colors
Structure
Of course I had to snap one of the motorbike.
They were smiling as they threaded their way past the bicyclists.

    Beautiful wooden structure, I did a group ride tour of 9 wooden covered bridges in Pennsylvania 2 weeks ago, took a few pictures but didn't have much time to stop and really admire the bridges, I guess I will have to go back again, this time alone ;-)

    Thanks George,
    That's a win-win. Get to do the ride again, and get the photos too! It sounds like a really nice ride. Covered bridges are really fun subjects.

    Nice photos Kari. I've taken some shots of covered bridges down south. It's fun to visit these. They're sprinkled all over the western part of the state. That first photo has a great angle.

    Thanks Mike,
    We are blessed with an abundance of covered bridges. :)
    This one is my favorite as it's close to where I grew up, so of course it's the best one!

Silver Creek Falls State Park, 03-19-11

Image
Warning: Long post alert! A week or so ago Ron and I took a hike at Silver Falls State Park . Warm summer afternoons will find hundreds of people hiking at the park. It's a constant battle of passing slow hikers...usually in groups, and bumping past oncoming hikers. Not exactly a peaceful forest experience. Take a hike on a cool, wet afternoon, and you'll find far fewer hikers. The hike is called the Trail of Ten Falls . On this day we will visit 6 of the 10 falls, and be treated to a number of unofficial falls running off the slopes of the canyon. South Falls is probably the most visited of all the falls. It's close to the day use area, and can be viewed without hiking down the canyon. The trail goes behind the falls, but we opt to take the foot bridge for the better view. An aside, my co-worker claims to have repelled over South Falls (and came up short on rope).  South Falls, 177 ft. Canyon Trail Off we go down the trail and to a series of stairs taking ...

Overnighter at the Coast

Image
March 1-2, 2026 Shake down cruise, er camp. Found us a teeny, tiny camper van to run about the countryside wreaking havoc wherever we go. Meet the new money pit. God help us it’s another Dodge, or rather a Ram. A Promaster with the infamous terrible transmission. What can we say it hit a price point that no Sprinter could meet. We actually adore her. I just hope she doesn’t fail us on some dark and lonely road.  We spent too much time and money getting her appropriately outfitted, then took ourselves to the coast for a night of camping in the rain. If anyone knows our past camping history you would know it always includes rain. Fortunately the rain wrapped up over night and the next day was pretty nice.  Spent some time at Yaquina Bay on Monday. The sea lions were busy hunting lunch and having a very successful hunt. The water was this wonderful color of blue and turquoise. Didn’t know it at the time but per another post the color is from herring that are spawning in the bay a...

Yamaha V-Star 1100

Our son brought us along to be the voices of reason, strength in the face of temptation, shining examples ruled by the mind and not by passion. He probably should have brought someone else. He sold his pickup, and was looking for it's replacement, a four wheeled replacement that is. There were several options to be viewed up in Portland then after that a visit to one of the motorcycle stores to do a little shopping. I wanted try out some jackets - the never ending quest for the perfect jacket. We should have known it was a mistake to even point the car in the direction of Portland. We knew there was a bike up there, exactly what he was looking for. The whole auto shopping thing was just a ruse, a deception. We were really there to look at bikes. We were only fooling ourselves. I went to the apparel department, father and son went to the showroom. The bike of his dreams: 2006 Yamaha V-star 1100...with ape hangers Later when I joined them I found my own Yamaha...don'...
