Verboort

It doesn't take more than 20 minutes of driving west on Highway 26 from Portland before you're transported from the hip urban weirdness that The Big City is known for to a scene from Sleepy Hollow. The rural Willamette Valley is lush, quiet and reminiscent of times past, and if you happen to be venturing about on an afternoon when thick fog is blanketing the ground, the area really comes to life.
