Swing Orchards 8155 A (Explored) Swing overlooking Springtime fields and orchards on a very rainy day north of Bethany, Oregon on Germantown Road. The swing is on the grounds of historic Bethany Bible Church, apparently on the pastor's yard. Bethany Church was built in the 1890s and services were in German until the 1920s. Immediately to the right is a pretty pioneer cemetery. The scene belies that this is on the edge of a densely populated area that is developing rapidly.
