The Mohawk High School Alumni Reunion

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.
