Regarding my video posts on Sunday, my friends at Friends of Ladd Marsh tell me that these are tent caterpillars – the larval form of a moth. And they enclosed the following PDF, attached, for further edification and reading pleasure.

rDay Thirty-Nine, Nature Observed
We saw these curious sights during our Deal Canyon trek this morning. Not knowing what it was that I was seeing, I am bringing these to the attention of Cathy, an old customer, friend and our local state ODFW (Oregon Dept of Fish & Wildlife) wildlife biologist, to see if she can enlighten me.

rDay Thirty-Nine, Deal Canyon
This morning we made a three-hour hike up the relentlessly uphill Deal Canyon Trail to its end then made our jarring return back down. Even Charlie made for the shade and a reclining position as soon as hit home.
rDay Thirty-Eight, Cars Part II
Includes Jim R and his white 1971 Chevy Stepside pickup which I have been documenting for over a year in its frame up restoration …
Also includes the blue and white 1935 fenderless Chevy pickup owned by the car salesman who rode with me in the Porsche Boxster last weekend.

rDay Thirty-Eight, Car Animals
Stumbled upon a local car show this morning. A few of the sights, including many people I talked with. (Images of the cars themselves will probably hit my car blog; perhaps, here, too.)

rDay Thirty-Six
Catching Kim in a rare moment when she is not in motion …
Later on, I walk down to my old workplace to do some consulting, where I also see my old colleague and friend, Lucas, a visual artist and film school grad who does wireless installations and troubleshooting as a day job. I also take a look at the company’s latest field vehicle for accessing mountaintop internet wireless towers and installations. Walking back, I take in some of the local residential architecture and meet Kim and Charlie midway for the return home.
