Trip Report

A very pleasant hike on the switchback trails. Lots on conversations today, in particular about the expanding trails system in Eugene and the Obsidians' role in supporting the efforts of City and the Eugene Parks Foundation. In addition to these conversations about Eugene, some plans where starting to emerge for other hikes in the Thurston Hills.
