Late October is as good a time as any for a visit to Albany’s Talking Water Gardens, and I did a circuit of the major paths on the bike in the middle of last week.
Five years ago, the first time I was there, I was impressed with Draper Park in Albany. The park seemed even nicer when I found myself there again yesterday, on Oct. 19, 2024.

Albany’s Dave Clark Path along the Willamette River has many upsides. Among them is that now and then in late summer, it affords its users spectacular views of the sun about 20 minutes before it sets.
This story is about a pothole. Not just any pothole. Not the kind of pothole which Albany’s older local streets have in abundance. This pothole is special, or it seems that way.
