Description:

Mileage is an estimate. Meet at the Hope Abbey Mausoleum in the Masonic Cemetery for the Last Sunday Open House (1:00-4:00). Come earlier if you want more time to visit the mausolem or cemetery before our shady walk (I hope) to the U of O Campus returning around 5:30 or so. Optional: There is a brass quintet concert on the grass at 6:00. I’ll send you the Eugene Masonic Cemetery Association enewsletter once you sign up. It has information about where to park, the concert and what to bring like a chair or blanket —that could be left in your car while we hike. There are no bathrooms at the cemetery.

Trip Report

We met at Hope Abbey Mausoleum in the Eugene Masonic Cemetery for their Last Sunday Open House. Former Obsidian Charlie Wright gave us a short tour before we started our walk through the grounds and then to the University of Oregon campus and the artwork at the new track facilities. There was a long line at Prince Pucklers so we headed back to the cemetery. Two of us stayed for the all women brass quintet concert on the Public Square at the top of the hill. What a pleasant last Sunday! I collected membership applications for Diane and Amanda to take to the membership chair's home.
