Blue River, Oregon

We left Portland yesterday and drove down to the town of Blue River, about 30 miles east of Eugene. It's a big golf and resort area. We got lost once in a detour in Springfield. We set up and took a ride down Scenic Hwy 19 into the Willamette National Forest. We ended up at the Constitutional Grove, a grove of trees along a path with a tree labeled for each signer of the constitution. The grove was doug firs and red cedars and quite impressive. It was darkish in there in the middle of the day.
