Since Joe wanted to go to the spring football game at OSU today, we left early. Lisa drove us to the edge of the Hewlett-Packard property and dropped us off, then drove back home. It was cooler than the day before, so I wore my windbreaker.
Highway 20 plies a long, gentle curve, roughly parallel to the Willamette River, between Corvallis and Albany. This route is lined mostly with farm fields and old ranch-style homes with grassy orchards and mature flower gardens, providing me with lots of great photo opportunities.
The distance was shorter than our targeted daily average of 9 miles since this walk would end at the bottom of the hill below Joe’s house. We walked the last half-mile on railroad tracks until we reached the road up to his house. We were finished by 11 a.m.
