We often tell people how geocaching has taken us to fascinating places, many of which we might not have discovered otherwise. This post features a few places near Eugene that we enjoyed.
Yoncalla Cemetery
Eugene Masonic Cemetery
Skinner’s Butte
Slowly cooling lava created these basalt columns on Skinner’s Butte, named for Eugene Skinner, the first non-native settler of the area and considered to be the city’s founder. The rock has been used for building foundations, columns and steps. The 45-feet high cliff is popular with rock climbers.

What a good way to get to memorable little spots! Cemeteries are my favorite. If you ever come back to Chicago, I’ll take you to have lunch with Al Capone or we could go posh and visit Marshall Field, John Deere and all the famous architects at Graceland Cemetery downtown. I come from a long line of New Englanders who picnicked in cemeteries while visiting kinfolk. I visited Eugene for my sister’s first wedding many years ago.
