### UPDATE: Since this is a larger group we can spread out as we walk. I’ll print some extra maps and descriptions for folks to share. Temperatures will be in the mid 40s, plan for rain. ###

Let’s explore Eugene’s new colorful murals (info at 20x21eug.com).

We’ll depart from the Kiva grocery store located next to the downtown bus station (11th & Olive). Our walking route will pass eleven murals of the 20x21 Eugene Mural Project and include about 2.5 miles of of hiking. We’ll end the walk about 11:30am at Sizzle Pie Pizza (Willamette and Broadway), just a block north of the bus station. If the weather warrants we’ll make a stop for a hot beverage.

Trip Report

Over the past months in Eugene, Oregon, a number of building-sized murals have started appearing – some almost overnight. Nineteen Obsidians participated on a 2.5-mile walk through town to learn more about these fantastic artistic expressions. The murals are part of the 20×21 project, an initiative to create 20 or more world-class outdoor murals in Eugene between now and the 2021 IAAF World Championships. After the walk, some of us enjoyed a tasty lunch at Sizzle Pie for pizza and salad.
