Winchester Bay to Portland, OR 5 Oct 2013

 Just outside Reedsport, OR is an Elk Reserve.  It is rutting season.
 There are few roads that cross the coastal mountains of Oregon.  This is Highway 38.  It is good road, with only one narrow bridge and one tunnel.  It is a good one to take in an RV.  The marine layer was touching the trees today.
 We have few deciduous trees and our weather usually doesn't promote the extreme color of the forests east of here, but the color change still signals fall is coming.
 Mt. Hood just got a good snow last weekend, so it looks beautiful.  The bridge in the foreground will expand Portland's great commuter train system.
 Mt. St. Helens is wearing a new coat, too.  
 If you watch the TV show "Grimm", you will see the Markham Bridge in weekly scenes.
Traveling north on I-5 through Portland, we see the two spires of the Convention Center and the half-oval roof of the Blazer's arena, now called the Moda Center.
