“Good Day in the Woods”

At Waldo Mountain Lookout, 10 miles or so from the trailhead on the other side of the lake.

“Lake Chetlo”

This was undoubtedly more scenic before the Cedar Creek fire. It’s a challenge to get to these days because the trails are largely destroyed.

“Crown Feeds”

Old feed mill in downtown Eugene. I think it’s retail space now.

“Transitory”

Somebody went to a fair bit of effort to stack these rocks in the Willamette River.

“Islands”

Some outcroppings at Waldo Lake

“Waldo Mountain Lookout”

I hike for 12 hours yesterday, including miles spent off-trail, to get some photos here. It was totally worth it.
