Outside of Philomath the fields have all been harvested for their hay. Dimple Hill and Mc Culloch Peak are visible in this panorama. So is the hill that Fitton Green sits upon.
Country Boys Gas in Belfountain. I don’t think it’s been open while I’ve been in Corvallis.
The old gas tanks rusting in the sun.
The painting on the door says it all. Gone fishin’
Just outside Peoria the fields have already been plowed.
This afternoon I buzzed out on my motorcycle to the Albany Harley Davidson store to meet Carl who was picking his bike up after getting it serviced. I nearly missed him at the shop because I got stuck in the nightmareish traffic that pops up in downtown Corvallis every evening at about quitting time.
From the shop we rode north, passed under the freeway, went through Millersburg, and accidentally got on the freeway headed south. We went all the way down to the Brownsville exit where we jumped off and headed west trying to find Peoria. We mistakenly turned onto 99E instead of going further west to Peoria Road. The ride up 99E was fine just the same.
Total mileage: 72 miles.
