Eugene

07/17/08 - 08/02/08

I spent a little over two weeks visiting friends in Eugene. Thanks to Dave and Nancy for letting me hang out. We did some hiking, went for some bike rides, took the canoe out and did some fishing, and just lazed around the house. I had a great time.

I also enjoyed their yard and neighborhood. They have some woods behind the house. We regularly saw deer, including three fawns. They also have a racoon they named Gimpy that hangs around a lot helping himself to their cat's food. Gimpy has a bad leg and a stump for a tail. So he's probably got a few stories to tell. We also could hear a couple off hawks quite often. But we only saw them occasionally.

The photos of the fawn and Gimpy are from their yard. The remaining photos are from some of our hikes.
