Oakridge, Oregon

We stayed a couple nights at Caseys RV resort in Westfir.   To get to the golf course a few miles away in Oakridge Oregon, we took a scenic back road that runs adjacent to the Willamette River.  

We drove by this interesting couple set up on the side of the road.  After we played golf we drove back on same road and saw they were still there, sitting at a small table, 
playing chess in the dappled sunlight.

We stopped and introduced ourselves.  They were a newly wedded couple from the SF Bay Area who were aspiring young journalists.  They said they had been there all afternoon, that we were the only people to stop.  Other passersby would wave at them or flip them the bird.

Since we considered ourselves happily married, we obliged their request and did an audio only interview.  We signed released forms just in case they publish somewhere like "This American Life"with Ira Glass on NPR.  

We wish them good luck and good marriage!
