Day Trip to Fall Creek Lake
Deck stained, yards mowed, weeds pulled, music practiced, trees pruned...it was time for a ride and a pic-nic. We took off with our Sherpa Buddies, Kelly and Mary, stopping at Albertsons for grub and gas, then on to Fall Creek Lake, one of Lane County's many man-made lakes. This lake covers the Fall Creek Drainage, which is a substantial contributor to the Willamette River.
Ready to go, and the requisite food shot. On the way, bypassing the slab. If Kelly had waited about 10 seconds to snap the pic, the Three Sisters would have been on the horizon. Where we went. Some shots of the lake, the flora and fauna, and the relaxing. On the way home. The bridge is Unity Covered Bridge, over Fall Creek. The conversation at the intersection is me pointing out to Karyn that this is where I have, on several occasions, done and inadvertant patrol check of Little Fall Creek Rd. (a dead end) when I have not made enough left turns to get to where I want to go. All in all, it was about a 100 mile round trip, with a pic-nic lunch, at an uncrowded park, with a beautiful lake, good friends and fun. Temp was about 75 degrees, moderate breeze. Ahhh.

Re: Day Trip to Fall Creek Lake
Practiced all your Arnold Jacobs routines? Did you listen to your Roger Bobo CD's too?
Nice pictures and ride report, I enjoyed it?

Re: Day Trip to Fall Creek Lake
Rick, food is about 1/3 of the reason for a pic-nic
 Marty, I have lots of tuba music on the i-pod, but buzzing inside the helmet yeilds some...interesting results  Bruce, Sherpa treking is what its all about!

Re: Day Trip to Fall Creek Lake
Dee's got the chase van. I will bring the tuba music. And to spare you, I won't play, I'll record the pros!! That's Karyn on the snare drum behind me.

That looks like a black colored mouthpiece you have?
