Description:

Limited to 6 guests because of social distancing. Members may sign up the day before if space. Face covering required.

Meet at the Obsidian Lodge to start the hike on the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. This is an opportunity to find out about the Obsidians and see our lodge. The Lodge is hard to find so I suggest you get directions and map from Obsidian home page. It is not necessary to do the hike if you have concerns about meeting people on the trail.

Drive past the Laurelwood Golf Course, turn right on Spring Blvd, a one lane road. Spring Blvd dead ends, 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. Email me if questions, jbjacobsen@comcast.net

Trip Report

All wearing face coverings, four guests joined three members outside the Lodge for the introduction and a conversation about liability and the COVID guidelines. It was a pleasant morning for our walk on the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. Thanks to Peg who answered questions and kept the conversations flowing at the back. After the hike Mike and I signed membership applications —three guests had already been on a local Obsidian hike. Several asked about easier or moderate walks and/or ones that would fit their work schedule. Also thanks to Mike who stayed at the Lodge during the hike and then after everyone left, donned gloves and carried the garbage bag to walk back with me on the Ribbon Trail to pick up unsightly mounds of toilet paper. We finished off the Lodge container of hand sanitizer.
