Willamette River Ferry Street Bridge on Coburg Rd/Franklin Blvd blue skies with fluffy white clouds

When walking over Ferry Street Bridge facing West a person can see the Valley River Center Bridge far off in the distance. Traveling north over the Ferry Street Bridge immediately taking a right onto the Ruth Bascom Riverbank trail.

Blair Street facing south at railroad tracks sloppy graffiti

Westward passes Skinners Butte to the left, followed by an annoying playground full of screaming germs. There is the option to go East toward the University of Oregon and Autzen Stadium/Cuthbert Amphitheatre.

Strange Whitaker sign post on Blair around Ninkasi

There are many paths off of the main trail that go into the Whitaker neighborhood. Often I take this route to go to a dispensary and then meet back up with the trail at the end of North Polk Street. Around a mile from leaving the bridge is the Owen Rose Garden.

Marvelously huge rhododendron bushes with bright and light pink flowers behind a wooden fence on Blair behind Ninkasi

All the while the river is to the right of the flowing as steady as the smorgasburg of bicyclists, skateboarders, shelter-challenged street folks, strollers being pushed by walkers, joggers, junkies, the occasional rollerblader or rare unicycler usually it's a posse of unicyclists (once they were naked) going toward West Eugene with the downtown bound or university crowd flowing the opposite direction.

Around 1.75 miles past the Rose garden is the Valley River Center Bridge which goes to the mall and the bird sanctuary.

Valley River bike bridge facing west can see Ferry Street Bridge far in distance

When crossing the view to the west is beautiful but looking to the east far in the distance would be the Ferry Street Bridge.

Before crossing yet one more Bridge with bright neon red lights going over the Beltline Highway.

The red neon light Bridge for bikes and pedestrians facing Northeast fluffy clouds in the sky this is a suspension bridge

A great location for viewing clouds on a clear day in the summer.

Facing west on the newest bike bridge crossing Beltline with red neon lights can I see North Eugene with the Valley River Center

Looping back around to my house in North Eugene after blissing out in bird paradise.

Red Pigment

Collage of crappy graffiti in Eugene Oregon Whitaker neighborhood

Description of Collage of Crap Graffiti From top to bottom:

USSUF (?questionable?), Skit or Shit, Tonks and Liar with the latter differing in letter style being more "middle ages Friar club style intermingled with deck of cards" compared to the "fat bubble letter" font of first three, yet all of them Master nothing, but crap.

Practice on your parents attic, basement or if they are dead gravestone. Not in public eyesore territory for the sake of urban art credibility. While spazZz
takes pictures of the whole spectrum from "worse than above" to "phenomenal freelance creative genius" graffiti. The best is sprayed on the side of trains passing through the city on these tracks.
