A cool morning lifts off the Willamette Valley as the van pulls away from the Tualatin park-and-ride, windows fogging then clearing to reveal long rows of grass, old oak knolls, and farm buildings that look as if they make everything from cider to stories. The road threads through agricultural flats where the river dares you to follow its silver back toward the Coast Range.
