Riding out highway 224 along the Clackamas River is one of the best ways to experience NW Oregon in late summer. I travelled this corridor in 2012 en route to forest camping.
Free refreshments were all along the road. I stopped often to pick sweet, sun-ripened blackberries.
A year later I travelled the route again, but vines that had supported fruit the year before were now just dead white bare branches, incapable of producing special regenerative berries.
Last week in September, a typhoon blew in. And blew through, uncovering blue skies and leaving the river muddy brown.
