Today is Leslie’s birthday, so we did what she wanted today.

Our coach is still at Oregon Motor coach getting some maintenance. We went out to breakfast then went for a hike on Spencer Butte.

Rhody and Buster stopped and posed. The rest of the hike they were running. The trail was very steep.  It was still raining so the trail is slick.

Lots of green vegetation and fog. Maple leaves and moss, a couple of moss on the side to tree, lichen, a mushroom on an oak leaf.

The bathroom at the hot springs. John, Sue, Leslie and Scott at Terwilliger hot spring. It was a series of 5 hot pools  one after another down a very narrow canyon. It is a 1/4 mile hike in. Beautiful place.
