My friend, Sherry, lives in Tacoma, Washington, about a five hour drive from here, when I told her we would be here for the summer, she promised to visit....and she did! She just got a new Cooper, Daisy, and was anxious to get it out on the road. We played tourist in Cottage Grove, walked around the town and went into a few shops. We got a kick out of this sign with their hours listed, loved the "ish", wonder if that would work for the COE.
Cottage Grove has earned the title the "Covered Bridge Capital of the West". There are six beautiful covered bridges within a few minutes of downtown. We went to find them.....
All that bridge finding made us hungry.....we headed to Eugene to find a burger and beer. Sherry isn't much of a beer drinker, but she was willing to give it a try. Steelhead Brewery had the best burgers, beer and wild mushroom soup!!
The next day we visited the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, a raptor rehabilitation center and wildlife hospital in Eugene. There are 50 permanent inhabitants, it was interesting!
It was great to have some "girl time" with Sherry! We had a ball driving around in her mini Cooper! We would see other Coopers and call them Daisy's cousins.
