The nice thing about winter weather is that deciduous trees are exposed after losing their leaves for the year.

In this case, an old Texaco Gas metal sign stood out greatly from the road, slowly getting swallowed by a large maple tree. The south side of the sign advertises the House of Mystery 'Oregon Vortex' roadside attraction located a mile north of here. The north side advertises Texaco Gas. It was neat to see a vintage gas sign hanging so far up the tree and to be able to share this with fellow Waymarkers.

I even uploaded a screenshot of the sign from Google Maps to show how hidden it is during summer months.
