Trip Report

Thanks to good weather, a good turnout, and great workers, the first trail work project of 1992 was a huge success. Eighteen people (yes! 18!) came to work on the South Willamette Trail. We put in a short day but accomplished our goal of pushing a trail through 400 feet of brush and trees. Some logs must still be cleared and finish work done, but a hiking trail now closes what was a gap in this popular route. A big "thank-you" to trail workers Jerry Casby, Mark Dwyer, Ruth Galaid, Sylvia Harvey, Ray Jensen, Betty Macy, Glenn Meares, Virginia Prouty, Harvey, Randall & Betty Speck, Mike Shirk, Mary Bridgeman, Helen Smith, Dallas & Jack Cole, Sue Baker (Lowell District, U.S.F.S.), and Velma Shirk (leader).

The May Bulletin is now online.

Stop by the Obsidians booth at the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum Wildflower Festival, Sunday, May 17, 10-5 pm..
