We had a great adventure-filled weekend! Our long weekends that we have right now are giving us the wonderful opportunity to take mini-summer vacations. We decided to check out Cottage Grove on Friday since it sounded like a fun touristy small town with cool covered bridges. On the way out of town, we stopped by AAA and picked up a bunch of brochures and maps for Oregon. These turned out to be a gold mine of cool activities for future adventures. This is definitely something we're going to do every year so we can keep track of events and festivals in the area.
Cottage Grove was a fun place. We saw a good deal of their fire fighting force, as they were collecting donations along the main street. There was one with a large mustache that I think Dan will need for attending the Academy. We walked along Main Street and perused the small shops. We also walked through the very old timey covered bridge built in 1987. Dan and I were telling stories to Sequoia about how we remembered having to ford the river there before the bridge was finished.
On Saturday, we drove out towards Florence for a beautiful walk through a ferny forest along a stream with lots of waterfalls. Sweet Creek was such a beautiful place! We took a ton of pictures and we hope you enjoy them too! Sequoia did great walking the mile out to the main falls. Dan carried her back as she was a little tired. Definitely a great adventure!
Here are a few more recent pictures of Sequoia.
