"When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and

when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our

personality and get into the forest again, we shall

shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen

to us so that we don't know ourselves .

Cool, unlying life will rush in."

Yesterday I walked down the trail.

This trail leads to the Willamette River.

The bridge was built in 1920 to replace

the original wooden covered bridge.

That bridge crossed the creek on

Old River Road much closer to the river.

Close to the top of Sucker Creek**

Yesterday afternoon when the rain stopped

I took a little hike along Sucker Creek to

see if I could get up far enough to photograph

all the water cascading out of the pipes.

(See photo #6)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get up far enough

as the high water really intimidated me and

I was afraid I might slip on the mossy rocks

and go into the creek . So here's a shot looking down

Later on today I will go to the construction site

and see if they will let me into the area where I could

get a better photograph.

**By the way, I guess Sucker Creek was re-named

Oswego Creek, but I like the old name.
