On the Road With Oregon Bounty - Day 2: Hidden in Plain View

Day Two of "On the road with Oregon Bounty" has made its way to the Mt. Hood/Columbia River Gorge region. This is one of the most diverse regions of the state encompassing the foothills and peaks of the cascades as well as the Columbia River Gorge. One of the hidden gems of this area is the wild products that you can find...pretty much all year around. Today, Greg takes you to a secret spot in the forest on a hunt for the elusive wild huckleberry.


I have a secret place that I visit only once a year, if that. Somewhere on the south side of Mt. Hood, well off the highway, down a dirt road and through a thicket of brambles and fallen trees, is my huckleberry patch. A hollow surrounded on all sides by protective bushes and middle age timber, you enter by stooping under a decomposing Douglas fir that lies across a dry creek bed. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly where, because then you might try to find it. Actually, some years my secret place is so good at disguising itself that even I have a hard time locating the front door. Read more at: http://blog.traveloregon.com/oregon_bounty_road_trip/
