Roadside Roses for Liz




Having showered, breakfasted and packed my kit, I was back on route 8 heading West out of Beaverton, OR. The ride to Forest Grove–about 20kms–was quite uneventful; car dealerships, Mexican restaurants and drive-through espresso booths. Oregon has drive-through espresso booths like downtown Toronto has street-meat vendors. Even the gas stations proudly display signs advertising their espresso. I guess if you’re putting gasoline in the car, may as well put some fuel in your tank.

Heading south on route 47, the landscape was typical; agricultural, forested and raining. The road-side roses were a surprise, causing me to think fondly of my dear friend Liz, whose garden is always full of these thorny flowers. Reaching Carlton, I made a right onto Meadow Lake Road to begin what would turn out to be well over three hours of steady climbing up the Coastal Mountain Range.

Cold and wet I arrived at Dovre, the first of four State Campgrounds at the road’s summit. With my tent erected and dinner made I noticed that this particular site was closed for the season. Oh well, no way am I moving! Being closed, the camping fee drop-box had been removed for the winter. Darn, guess I can’t pay. Really, I was heartbroken and felt immense guilt for not paying. Thankfully I’m not Catholic, so the guilt soon faded. In fact, I slept quite well, feeling that three hours of climbing had earned me the night’s stay.
