Kinetic Sculpture Race -- The Bog section

A little post-script here. The da Vinci Days big feature is the Kinetic Sculpture Race, which is held on the street, at a "dune", in a "bog" and down the Willamette River. Your dear photographer only attended the promenade, the dune and the bog. Here are a few photos from the bog. Next year we will attend the whole race. What fun!


"Whirled Cup" enters The Bog. Note the high heel on the soccer shoe.



The "Big Easy" trying to show what a piece of cake the bog is.



Kids running to help stuck sculpture out of the bog.


"Flash Gourd'n" entering the bog.



The only sculpture without pedal power... actually made it to the finish line.



"Whirled Cup" makes it to the finish line. Puppets cheering and encouraging.


The temperature was in the mild mid-80's. Heavenly Pacific Northwest. The highs predicted for this weekend are around 105. Valori and Helen will be at the WILPF conference in Portland. Friends Frank and Margaret from Pacific Grove will visit Courtney.
