The Homestead Trail and Da Vinci Days

Yesterday Ben's back was hurting so we went for a short, easy walk which usually helps it. On the Homestead Trail in McDonald Forest, we found a European red slug that looked kind of like a morel:


It was also Da Vinci Days here in Corvallis yesterday, where people build crazy pedal-powered vehicles and ride them on the roads, up a sand dune, through mud, and finally down the Willamette River. We drove around the race area and found a few interesting "bikes":


And finally, yesterday Ben took a photo of Ichabod that makes him look like an overly cute Japanese anime creature:


So that was this weekend. Now to write a few articles and clean out my spiny mouse's cage. The next few days we're both going to be working like mad, and then later this week hopefully we'll go on a longer hike. Hopefully the weather will clear up, too!
