Tunnel 27

No. 49

My buddy Jacob met me after work and we went on a little mid-week adventure.

We met up in Beaverton, OR and rode 35 miles West before we started trail-riding. The first portion of this trail was fast paced Forest Service Roads where I was one-handedly taking photos with my iPhone while riding.

The second portion of this trail was full of deep ruts, loose rocks, slippery mud, and lots of steep areas. At the end of this “technical” part is an abandoned trail tunnel.

“Tunnel 27” is an abandoned train tunnel located on the Tillamook Bay Railroad.

Large portions of this railroad were destroyed by a winter storm in 2007, and never fixed due to the high cost of repairs.

Here’s another photo of Jacob. The bad thing about being the photographer and storyteller, is I’m never in the photos
