Eugene, Oregon
We have been in Eugene, Oregon all this week. This is our second time down here this summer, we really like the place. We are staying at Armitage Park, it is part of the Lane County Park system and very nice. Located adjacent to the McKenzie River and close to Eugene and Springfield, just on the northern edge of town.
Eugene has a lot of nice restaurants, coffee shops, a really great walking section of town, organic markets, a Farmer’s market on the weekends, bike shops (our new hobby), thrift stores (our old hobby), and a great fly shop (my hobby).
It is a great place to ride bikes, plenty of trails and paths, without getting on the highways. While traffic is a bear around here, they seem to be very respectful of bicycles. Lots of paved paths throughout the city, one along both banks of the Willamette River (Ruth Bascom Trail) and another along the Amazon Canal.
