Eugene, Oregon

October 14, 2022 / / 1 Comment

On Thursday, we drove 71 miles to the Armitage Park Campground in Eugene, Oregon. This is a very nice county park. Huge sites with lots of separation.

Friday, we started our day at the Camas County Mill and Bakery. A family owned and run farm and grain mill where they produce whole grain flower the old fashion way. We had coffee and baked goods in the old schoolhouse. Sue Hunton explained the history of the farm and how they grow food. Click here to go to their online store.

Next, we stopped by the Cascades Raptor Center. A very nice non-profit organization that rehabilitates and saves birds of prey. We had a very informative presentation with 3 birds before roaming the center’s grounds.

We then went to the Ninkasi Brewery for a tour and lunch. Both were very nice. Pam and I each had a flight of 5 beers. Kelly had the Brussel spouts for lunch – Outstanding!!

On Wednesday, we started with a kite competition on the beach (Kelly won for highest kite). A really fun event. Can’t remember the last time I flew a kite. Separate Post.

Pam and Kelly then went to Cape Perpetua where we visited Thor’s Well, the Spouting Horn; a part of Devil’s Churn Hike. We then took the 2-mile hike to see the Giant Spruce (550 years old).

Pam and Terry then went to the sand dunes for sunset.

Lighthouse Trail & Sunset

October 11, 2022 / / 0 Comments

On Tuesday, Terry, Kirk, Pam and Kelly hiked the lighthouse trail. Very nice 2 mile hike. A big challenging with mud and lots of tree roots to trip on. But very rewarding. Pam took lots of pictures of mushrooms along the way.

We went to dinner a the Homegrown Public House. Food was great. Beer was good. Pam and Terry found their new favorite “Razzle Drop Martini”. We then went to the beach for a cold and windy sunset.

Spruce Goose

On Thursday, we visited the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville. This is the home of the Spruce Goose. At the time, the largest airplane ever built. It was engineered and developed by Howard Hughes and only flown for 1 mile. Below is a video on the journey of the Spruce Goose to McMinnville – Interesting.

Some of us took the guided tour through the plane and were able to get up into the cockpit and sit in the pilot chair. Very Fun!

The aviation museum has may aircraft and space craft; highly recommend stopping by for a few hours if you are in the area.
