Bridges

This morning, Les and Indy went out looking for covered bridges to photograph. The first was Drift Creek Covered Bridge, which was relocated to Bear Creek. It now leads to a private residence and not open to vehicle traffic. The next was Alva 'Doc" Fourtner Covered Bridge which seems to be on a private ranch at Grand Ronde. Access was not clear. The pictures on the internet showed a pretty ugly, modified bridge, so he did not get to it to take a photo.
Heading back toward camp, Les took a detour on Old Highwy 101 from Otis, OR to Neskowin, OR through old growth forest. The road was narrow and curvey, but is fairly good condition. Les took cell phone pictures and video. It was a beautiful drive
Back on Highway 101, he past the turn off for Pacific City and continued north to Tillamook, OR to fuel up the Jeep. This part of 101 moves in land from the coast and goes through several small farming towns, like Cloverdale and Hebo. The road was a slow drive as it is narrow and curvey with lots of traffic. Returning from Tillamook (without cheese) he found another road back to camp. It was alot straighter and in better condition, so it cut off a bunch of time to the drive.Read more
