Description:

For a number of years, I have led this in-town, annual hike the day after Thanksgiving. Due to covid-19 restrictions on gatherings this year, I decided to lead it Thanksgiving Day instead. It will be a fairly fast paced hike (not a saunter) and we will be climbing some huffy-puffy hills! This year's route: we will start by going up steep 28th St., across to N. Shasta Loop, on Spring and Firland, and using a secret trail, back to 43rd and to the start. ! There are no rest rooms along the route. Be sure to bring a mask, wear it at all times, and read the Obsidian covid-19 rules on our home page. Also, in case you're wondering, Governor Brown's restrictions effective 11/18 do NOT affect this hike. Her comments: "We strongly encourage outdoor recreation and camping, and as such, our parks and playgrounds are staying open. Breathing fresh, if not chilly air, will help us all."

Trip Report

The weather and the company was exceptional.... evidently lots of Obsidians were seeking either some exercise or "community" on Thanksgiving Day. With introductions, we shared what we were grateful for - our friends, family, health, living in our Eugene bubble, Obsidians, and just being alive. We tackled some huffy-puffy hills and walked some roads which many folks had never set foot on. It was a splendid way to spend a few hours with friends.
