the rainy season has arrived, not surprising with Autumn (equinox on Saturday) knocking at the door...cooler and damper conditions are normal for the Pacific North West...still there is some sense in running away from them, in search of a few more days of sunshine and warmth...so leaving tomorrow (Friday) morning for six days on the road, and so offline for the duration of the adventure...landscapes should dominate the agenda...there are many microbreweries in Oregon, but of course will ignore them all...well most...OK...OK...some...after all can't be everywhere at once
