Turkey Trimming

Start date: 11/28/2024
Start time: 9:00 AM

Description:

This is the 12th Annual Turkey Trimming hike; get some exercise with friends before ingesting a lot of calories! This year's route: from Martin St., stay on West Amazon to Owl St, to the Ridgeline Trail. Continue the loop by returning through the neighborhoods. There are some short, but steep huffy-puffy hills.

When you sign up for an Obsidian trip, you're making a commitment to show up unless there is an emergency or illness. If you're unsure about making that commitment, please don't sign up!

Trip Report

During introductions, everyone shared what they were grateful for, particularly on Thanksgiving Day; family, Obsidian friends, and living in Eugene/Springfield were mentioned a lot. This was a fast, congenial group of hikers. Huffy, puffy hills barely slowed them down! We finished the route in just over 2 hours. Camaraderie and exercise is the best therapy.
