Day 29 - Shevlin Park - behind the pond
Our morning dawns cold and windy. Brrrrr. We opt for coffee in the comfort of the indoor viewing perch.
View from our living room - yes that is snow!
Later afternoon - it's still cool - but the sun is popping in and out. Good enough for a walk back in Shevlin Park.
The Ol' Fishin' Pond at Shevlin Park - which is a literal expression of the "Teach a Man to Fish" proverb - it is free to fish for youth and people with disabilities, limit 2 per day. The gentleman across the way was coaching his young son, who usually catches his limit.
The Ol' Outhouse at the edge of the Ol' Fishin' Pond. Good thing it's no longer in commission.
Tumalo Creek rushes past.
The creek flows right along the forest floor.
Guardians of the nest.
Waaay up the trail, we find the latest in US Navy experimental submarine defences. These curved underwater vessel pens were designed for unique curved submarines, deployed just in these waters. In 2022, a Navy analyst determined that the Deschutes and Crooked River systems have more left turns than right turns, and so designed a submarine that would out-maneuver invading Russian submarines 0.276% of the time. This is regarded as a decisive advantage.
No sign of submarines. Yet.
The Other Cable News Tree. All the news that's fit to carve.
Another evening at Bosa - nothing disappointing here.
