Attractive Obstruction


Attractive Obstruction, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

At the Rogue River in Grants Pass, OR. There's this little park, see, and right when you get to the river there's a sad little fence, but there's well-worn paths on either side of it, and no signs or anything. The paths lead down to the river. Everybody goes there. Problem is, the paths are lined with poison ivy.

I asked a parkworker about it. "Oh, yeah, them kids, they go down there and have their fun. They don't think it's so much fun the next week, though!"

As we were leaving the park, this guy in the parking lot started chanting at us, quasi-under-his-breath:

Back to California, Back to California, Back to California, Back to California...


Welcome to Oregon.
