eugene

This is a community known for its history in Track & Field, the University of Oregon, nature, art, farms, and quirkiness.  Because we do daily life here, the "sample daily itineraries" and "next time" sections aren't present.  Tyler also hasn't done much photography here, as he typically does that when we travel elsewhere.

  • It rains a lot here, which is why it is so green.  I carry an umbrella from Oct-June.  July-September are beautiful months to visit.

  • You will unfortunately see a lot of unhoused individuals here

  • You can get to the ocean, mountains, lakes, rivers, hikes, etc easily from here.

  • Eugene is a bikeable city
