They've been doing a lot of volunteer work to put together a new course at Keizer Rapids Park, at least until a recent stand-off with a city employee who tweaked their course design in a manner unacceptable to the club. Anyway, it's an ongoing and unresolved drama at present, and that's all I know (it's my husband's hobby/sport, not mine!).

It's one of my favorite parks in town because it has a great walk through a mini forest and a nice little creek for the kids to throw stones in. There's also an area where there are tons of rabbits. I've never played frisbee golf there but I do have a disc that I haven't used in years. I suck at it too. From an email I received today:

Couldn't get Adam out of bed on his day off. And then we had to breakfast at Word of Mouth. And then we had to talk to our neighbor for an hour. And then and then. Sorry excuse for a new Oregonian, me. I know, I’m sorry. Couldn’t get Adam out of bed on his day off. And then we had to breakfast at Word of Mouth.

Any others in Salem? it seems like some of the surrounding communities have well-established Frisbee golfing ... ahem... cultures. I'd hate to see that this is another area where Salem, um, dropped the disc. We had heard about that one — good thing we didn’t go looking for it.

The one I used to play at all the time is the one that's here in Salem at Corban College, but then they had to go and put in dorms right in the middle of the course. Thus died a legacy.
