Steve Moore - Grass Tennis Court - Eugene, OR

Steve Moore obviously had too much time on his hands as he spent the summer of 1997 putting in a grass tennis court and putting green on his ranch just outside of Eugene, Oregon. If you are interested in seeing a recent google satellite map image of MRCI.


Steve & Marsha Moore's house, with the office next to it and the putting green and a pond just below.

 


In a picture taken in 1998, Steve plays tennis by himself. (Did he win?)

Our great golden retriever, Jasmine, on the tennis court in the summer of 1998. We lost her 12/31/2009. She was quite the lover dog!

 


On the McKenzie River (6/16/2012), with Marsha Moore (seated), son Chris Moore, and guide Jim Straight. Marsha was resting after catching around 50 fish by herself, including 7 double catches. Chris had the big one (an old 15-pound trout) that got away.

 


The tennis court deck pictured in late summer 2013. Buddy Tom Gillette and my son built this beautiful redwood viewing deck next to the tennis court.

 


Two of our new chicks pictured in early July 2015 at the new MRCI Chicken Hotel. Those two cute little girls are Black Australorps. The Chicken Hotel currently has 10 different types of chickens in residence.

 


Beautiful sunflowers in part of the free range for our lucky chickens. If you look closely, you can see some of them in it. With a very large free range area, they spend their days playing, eating, sleeping.

 


Chickens can more easily spend those days playing, eating, sleeping because sunflowers give them great cover from hawks.

 


Chickens on the compost pile, making even better compost for the gardens.

 


A few of the 81 hens and chicks in their new MRCI Chicken Hotel at bedtime.

This green box is called a "swarm box." We captured some bees from across town at a friend's home and eventually moved them into the top bar bee hive behind the swarm box.
