Our mission was to enjoy the McCredie Hot Springs and then head back home to Eugene. After an hour and a half long drive and many wrong turns, we decided to enjoy our surroundings and the nature we tend to ignore on a daily basis. 

We took in the beauty of each tree, leaf, and rock we came across. The beautiful messiness that surrounds us every day, but many walk through blindly. 

Imagine a world without this canopy of life that is the reason for our existence. And yet humanity is the reason for its slow death. This experience has motivated me to make a promise to this place I call home. I will not contribute to its death but I will strive to help bring it back to life.
