The Mohawk High School Alumni Reunion was held yesterday,
Sunday, September 20 at the High School in Marcola, Oregon. I traveled southbound on I-5 to Albany as the sun rose over the horizon and
headed west to Corvallis. A doe and her two fawns crossed the road in front of my stopped car shortly after leaving Albany. I did two Webcam caches in Corvallis - one at the OSU Library
and the bell tower (I heard the bells chime at 9:00AM) and the other at the OSU
Quad. I took the photos using my
I-Phone. I was short on time so I did
not explore the art/art collections in the buildings.
I traveled south on Hwy 99 through sleepy little farm
towns. I drove to the Owen Rose Garden
in Eugene where I did the third and last Webcam cache. I
was short on time so did not have time unfortunately to explore the lovely rose
garden.
My family lived on the former Jim Johnson farm in Marcola from
1946 to 1949. I hardly recognize Marcola
anymore. So much has vanished over the
years. As an author once said, you can't
go home again. So true. I visited with friends at the classes union
potluck until 2:10PM and then said my goodbyes. I traveled to Lebanon via Sweet Home. I attended the end of a Geocaching Welcome to
Fall Event. Time to head west and then
north on a very congested I-5 to Portland/Vancouver. All in all a lovely Fall day.
