Safari Club, Estacada, Oregon

There was an unsuccessful adventure to Bagby hot springs. In retrospect, it seemed like the forces were out against us that day. Bad traffic on the way out, late start, queesy stomaches from breakfast and snowy roads. Her car got stuck in the snow on the last leg of the road up there, which was about 5 miles out and turned out to be too formidable to pass. We retreated to this place called the Safari Club, which Katie had been to before. Combine a dive bar with rather trashy patrons and natural history museum and you’ve got Safari Club. Immediately upon entering, you’re greeted by a polar bear standing on his hind legs in a display case. Add to this two tigers fighting, cougars, panthers, african lions, gazelles and deer all propped up in glass showcases all throughout the bar. Too much to describe in a single post. Pictured here is the deer being pounced by a mountain lion.21
