Pre's Rock

We did get to Eugene, Oregon. About all we have seen here is rain, rain, rain. I did get to see Pre's Rock, the rock where Steve Prefontaine was killed in May of 1975.  Pre was a promising young Olympic runner who was killed in a car accident when his car hit this rock and flipped over, pinning him underneath.  Runners have made the rock as a kind of  memorial.  As a runner myself, I had to stop by and pay my respects to Pre.
