Description:

We will continue the tradition of a Veterans Day hike started by the late Dave “The Griz” Lodeesen (1952-2021), who served in a helicopter squadron in Vietnam in 1971 and frequently wore a hat saying “Practice Peace.” He founded the hike in 2016 and led it for four years.
This walk will go by two memorials by Skinner Butte and along the Willamette up to Valley River and either across and back east the other side or straight back.
Everybody is welcome, and I hope to see many veterans. Nobody should feel at all out of place.
Wear what you wish, and if you have a Griz story, that would be welcome. We will be done by 1130, maybe earlier.

We will have this regardless of the weather, although the Griz once told me in writing that Wind+Rain=Misery.

Trip Report

I was frankly overwhelmed by the number of people who showed up. We had a record number of people (30) and veterans (7) for the walk along the river to Greenway bridge and back. Everybody spread out and we had no instances of blocking the walk! I think many of us needed this hike at this time of year at this place.
