Today
we let the Mt. Hood railroad take us through the gorge to see the
ever changing leaf show. It was a great display - the evergreens
seemed more lush than ever serving as the backdrop for the gold,
red and orange show-off trees.

The
train chugged through the largest pear orchards in Oregon and the
leaves were all in varying stages of changing colors, so that combined
with the fruit heavy on the limbs was especially beautiful.

When
we reached the end of the line in Packdale, that little town was
holding its harvest festival, so we enjoyed strolling through the
booths eating kettle corn and sampling the farmers' fresh picked
apples and pears. There's something so much more satisfying and
delicious about getting your fruit and veggies that way rather than
from a store.
