8/11/18 - Corvallis, OR

This morning Corvallis has a farmers market at the park by the river in downtown.  We went and bought some veggies and a burrito for breakfast.  This market is bigger than the one we went to in Longmont, Colorado.  Jim wanted to take a hike up Bald Hill but when we got parked at the trailhead it started to rain a little.  There were lots of blackberries at the trailhead and we picked some.  Instead of hiking today we went on a drving tour of five covered bridges east of Albany.  While we were parked at the 2^nd  covered bridge, we notice lots more blackberries.  We picked some more -- this make us have three quarts of fresh berries to eat.  I always put zip lock bags in the truck for emergencies if it rains to put our cell phones and cameras in to keep them dry when hiking. We used these to put the blackberries in.  Then we went into Albany to Calapooria Brewing and Deluxe Brewing.  After returning to camp we sat outside awhile.  Then we went to an ice cream social at camp.  We put some of our fresh blackberries on top of the ice cream.
