WALKING THROUGH THE SOLAR SYSTEM - Third annual New Years’ Eve day hike.
We will start by walking by Mars, then Earth/Moon, Venus , Mercury and the Sun. Then we will cross de Fazio Bridge and walk on the south bank of the Willamette out to Neptune and return. Those who wish to leave early can, but you have to see 5 planets to get hiking credit!!!!!!! [Note: if you see some in the morning sky before dawn, they count!!!!!] It’s a good way to see something unique and educational, created by Jack van Dusen, and one can leave at Valley River for lunch, should they get tired. Expected finish: Noon
