Visiting Peg and John in Corvallis


Following the end of the bike trip, Art and I got a car and drove down 99 west to visit Peg (an old bud from high school and UVa days) and her husband John in Corvallis. The views from some of the Willamette Valley wineries were so nice that we just stopped to take some pictures even though the wineries were closed.
We visited that night and traded stories of our bike trips (Peg and her daughter had just finished riding from Glacier NP to Jasper, BC). They elected to spend the night under the stars being saranaded by coyotes... it made me a little nervous so I elected for a bed.

Following a wholesome breakfast of buckwheat pancakes, hazelnuts (grown in OR) and their own blueberries, we set off for a little 15 mile kayaking adventure in the Willamette River. We passed the 2 bald eagles along with green and blue herrons. See pic of Art on John's tractor

It could have been a kid's minibike-- think what that would've looked like.
