Description:

Meet at the Obsidian Lodge to start the hike on the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park and back. This is an opportunity to find out about the Obsidians, get acquainted with members, and visit our lodge. This hike through the woods has a few short bursts of steep up and down hill. Members are welcome to sign up to help answer questions.

Drive past the Laurelwood Golf Course up 27th St then at the top of the hill turn right onto Spring Blvd, a one lane road. When Spring Blvd ends at a T intersection, turn left and immediately look for the Obsidians sign and driveway on your right. Enter the driveway and follow the gravel road to the parking areas and Lodge. The Lodge is hard to find so if you want to view the map, go to the Obsidian home page. http://obsidians.org/lodgemap.htm

Trip Report

Four guests joined two members for a lively walk to and through the park. On the Ribbon Trail, the scent from the false solomon seal hit us before we saw the hillsides covered in it. Then at Hendricks Park, we encountered large swaths of Lily of the Valley, the scent enticing us on. This was a very enjoyable outing for everyone and I expect to see most, if not all, of the guests again.
