This past week,
my husband and I drove up Peterman Hill
just southwest of Morton, WA.
Peterman Hill Road used to climb
over the 2500′ Peterman Hill
and back down into the valley below
to the small town of Riffe, WA,
which was inundated by the damming
of the Cowlitz River.
In the mid 1960s
Tacoma Power took the land by imminent domain
so they could build both the Mossyrock and Mayfield dam
s to provide power for the city of Tacoma.
There was the least hint of fall color in some underbrush,
but the Alder trees have already been stripped
to bare limbs by the late fal
l wind and rain.

My husband and I are off
to buy our Christmas tree
this morning.
Joy!

Blessings Always,
That road just begs to be followed. I love this kind of photo.
That picture is perfect!!! Wish I’d explored more around there. Have you ever been to the Mima Mounds?
This is a fabulous pic!
I love the way the branches mesh together above the track. I just want to go and see what beauty might lurk farther into the woods.
Hi Madge! I really like your blog format…it makes all of your picture-perfect shots POP on the screen!!!
The most appealing of roads….one bordered beautifully by arching trees! Love this image, Madge!
