Trip Report

The morning rose in cold fashion, but with a hint of promise containing sun and the thought of warmth. Our first stop was the Nobel Peace Park, which honors American recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize. Among those honored are Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama. Next we rode the Clearwater Trail into Springfield and to the two memorials at Mohawk Blvd and I St. The first one honors 63 from Lane County who lost their lives and the second one dedicated to women serving in combat. Finally back to Eugene viewing the War Memorial in Skinner Butte Park with 451 names of those who died in war from World War I through Operation Desert Storm. Also in the same area is a replica of the VietNam memorial wall with only one soldier's name.
