Whoa! Is that a recent photo? Is that roll still there after 40+ years?

There's an old truck in the brush just off the trail in the Happy Valley Nature Park. It's very easy to spot in winter, but it may be harder to find when the vegetation has leafed out.

This thing creeps me out. It's on a tree alongside a trail/road in the Starker Forests "Dan Farmer Tree Farm" south of Corvallis. This area sees a lot of equestrian visitors so it probably gives the horses the heebie-jeebies as well.

How about the Babyshoe Pass sign on Mt. Adams with the baby shoes hanging on it.

I love it! Only in the PNW could you expect a floral couch to grow a nice coat of moss...! :lol:
