Willamette Falls Locks

(a "Ramble")

August 7, 2008

        Starting from Hammerle Park, we walked to the Willamette River Greenway Trail and on to the McLean House.  Then under the freeway and on to the Oregon City bridge.  After a brief visit to the county court house, we had lunch, and returned to the west side of the river and down to the Willamette Falls Locks.  Unfortunately the locks were not in operation, but we were able to imagine boats coming and going.  Thank you, Julia Ferreira, for leading us on this ramble.
