centraloregondaily.comI remember visiting Petersen Rock Garden more than 60 years ago. Nice to see it's still around.

That’s great news. The meth house feel that the previous owners have it was super depressing.

I went by there a little over a year ago. The meth vibe and trash was a bit sad. But the cats, there was so many cats.

My parents have an old view master reel of Petersen Rock Garden from its early days in its full glory (with the swan boats on the pond, etc...). I really need to see if there is a way to scan those somehow, as it's quite the difference then and now.
Edit: Apparently they can be found on eBay.

very cool! A good phone and backlight might give decent results, or 3d print contraption https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1135621 or fancier rig https://hackaday.io/project/179648-view-master-reel-scanner if you have a collection

Old man Craig is helping!

Yay! I love the peacocks so I hope they play those up somehow, like this is their rock kingdom and we're just lucky to pass through

I rode by there recently and the peacocks are still out in full force. Having one of those crazy bastards make their horrible noise from the fenceline can get your average speed up a couple mph.
They'll just wander around in the road too, came a little to close to a few when biking by before.
Spin!
