August 7, 2014 - Corvallis and Bigfoot?

Today we began our southward trek towards home and drove nearly the length of the state, from Portland to Medford.  Happily, we were able to break up the drive with a visit to Corvallis. First we went through Oregon State University and nearby neighborhoods.  Then we went downtown and met our friends Arne and Fumiko. We had a few hours together chatting, lunching, and walking along the Willamette River. We also picked and ate some very delicious blackberries along the river.

We were through the forests of Oregon's Cascade Mountains for a few hours after that. This is Bigfoot Country, Bret is reading a Bigfoot book, and maybe we saw something in the trees?
