Day 6.3 - Wednesday Aug 9 - End of Day! Finally, I know!

Finally go to the end of Day 6  - just lots of pics and stuff I did.

Headed to other "famous" UofO haunts...

The famed Hayward Field!  

Olympic Trials NOT coming here :-(

Bill Bowerman of Nike fame helped make us famous...

Them's punny words you got there!

While I was taking these pics I really wanted UofO Security to stop me and ask what I was doing. Would have explained Eugene was on my bucket list because Bowerman was my great grandfather and I never met him but wanted to see his legacy. 😼  It is not true, but would be fun to see his reaction!  probably would have opened up the doors and let me take a gander.

Then headed to another Eugene staple, TRACK TOWN PIZZA - I mean, RACK TOW PIZZA! Once again, thank Kody from Kanada for that reminder.  Actually, I may have eaten here only a couple times during my formative years, so this was more for Kody than for myself.

THEN, I hit the Columns on Skinner's Butte.  A place I had spent many of my days climbing during summers between 1991 and 1993.  I had worked in Yosemite Nat'l Park (arguably my mostest favoritest place in the entirety of the world!) in 1990 and learned how to climb - with equipment (believe me, I was proficient as a climber already, as I hear it, when I was age 2 or 3 I climbed out of my crib often).

Basalt Columns of Joy!

Right down off the butte are two things that go together like white on rice, like peanut butter and jelly, like a bear that $#!+$ in the woods, like Batman and Robin, like... OK. I'll stop.  I hear the pleading cries of the masses and I acquiesce. 

ROCK GYM... across the road from...

WHAT!?!

RECREATIONAL FREAKIN' EQUIPMENT, INC.!!!

Then Journey got hungry and ATE THE MOON!  Thought it was fair since Luna was going to eat the sun in a few days!

Mmmm, tastes like... crickets.  

You might have thought I was going to say, "chicken."  

Or maybe, "green cheese."  Nope.

End of Day 6 (FINALLY)

Time to SLEEP... I'm on day 24 right now (Aug 27).  I'll combine some of the blog's coming up days so I can get through day 22 in the next 2 days!  I'm headed to San Francisco on the 28th.  I want to catch up!

OK, Sleep...
