My buddy and I took the new bike trail that links together old portions of the Gorge highway and keeps you off the interstate. It was awesome -- this odd ride in to the past on Model-T sized road with the old parapets and mossy stack rock walls. It was like the land that time forgot. http://www.columbian.com/news/2013/s...y-state-trail/ (new) You're riding around on a mountain side with the interstate below. http://s3-media4.ak.yelpcdn.com/bpho...gtvwGqFQ/l.jpg It really made me smile.
