skinners Butte flag flying

Spring flowers Skinner's Butte

I walked up Skinners Butte Saturday and the kite man was there. There were lots of people up there and he had a good crowd around him. He had 15 kites on the string when I left. I have see him up there many times. I looked him up on google. He is a retired mail man and has flown kites his whole life. He has had as many as 62 kites on one string and has the record of the most consecutive days 1223 when the article was written in May of 2018. 

The winter here in Eugene has been warmer and sunnier then usual and I try to take a walk every day. Skinners is a 200 foot climb. There is a road and the parking lot is always full. There are trails that zig sag back and forth and I like to walk those paths to the river. The back side of Ya Po Ah faces Skinners park. Below are  a few of the photos of Skinners Butte, and views from the top
