Description:

Celebrate National Trails Day with an AFTERNOON Get Acquainted hike on the Ribbon Trail. Meet at the Obsidian Lodge to start the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. This is an opportunity to find out about the Obsidians, get acquainted with members, and visit our lodge. The Lodge is hard to find so I suggest you get directions and map from Obsidian home page

Drive past the Laurelwood Golf Course, turn right on Spring Blvd, a one lane road. Spring Blvd deadheads, turn left and immediately look for the Obsidians Inc. sign and gate(driveway) to your right. Enter the driveway and follow the gravel road to the parking areas and Lodge. Members are welcome to sign up to help answer questions.

Trip Report

The Get Acquainted hike invitation was listed in the Register Guard Saturday Be Here section. Perhaps that is the reason we had more guests than I anticipated but fortunately, I had enough brownies for everyone. Seven guests and three enthusiastic new members had many questions about the Lodge, the Club and our activities. President Lyndell Wilken greeted all and helped answer questions. Thanks to Mike Smith who kept the Lodge secure while we hiked the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. The next Get Acquainted hikes are June 28 and August 3. I encourage members, especially new members, to sign up and invite a guest It was fun.
