Trip Report

Five members greeted six guests at the Obsidian lodge for the morning Ribbon Trail hike to Hendricks Park. Cold lemonade and homemade muffins refreshed while guests learned about our historic lodge and upcoming events. During introductions Jorry and Mike gave a special invitation to the Solar Eclipse Explora-Talk. Thanks to Jane Hackett who handled registration and guest packets and “guarded” the lodge during the hike. Guests found out about the hike from the Obsidian website flyer, Register Guard, and the Y Bulletin Board.
