In mid August Dale and I took our Tuesday Travels to another park along the edge of Fern Ridge Reservoir, just west of town.
Zumwalt Park is maintained by Lane County and the US Army Corp of Engineers. It's quite large. It's a great place for dogs run off leash and play in the water.
We didn't find the closest parking spot, so had our lunch in an older, less-well-maintained part of the park on this crumbling, moss-covered picnic table
under tall, tall trees.
We walked down the path to the main part of the park where we saw clusters of picnic tables and barbecue pits under the trees. Great for group gatherings.
Then we followed our GPS to a geocache that was extremely easy to find and a great cache for kids. I crossed the big open field
and walked down to the lake's edge.
What a lovely day! On the way back to the car, we got mountain views
over fields of wetlands littered with cattails.
This butterfly followed along.
