SUMMARY:Pueblo Mountain
DESCRIPTION:We’ll meet at SEHS and carpool to this Eastern Oregon peak that hasn’t been visited by the Obsidians since 1985. A turnout on Arizona Creek road will serve as our trail head. We will car camp Saturday night at the Virgin Valley Campground in the Sheldon NWR\, hike Sunday morning\, and then return to Eugene late Sunday night although this could adjusted based on group preference and the weather forecast. \nAt 8\,632 feet\, Pueblo Mountain is the highpoint of a fault-block range sandwiched between Steens Mountain and the Nevada border. This exploratory hike (leader hasn’t hiked this route before) is a peak baggers triple threat; it is the 21st most prominent\, 22nd most isolated\, and 52nd tallest peak in Oregon. This area is home to western juniper\, mountain mahogany\, quaking aspen\, pronghorn antelope\, and mule deer. There is no trail so this will be cross country travel thru fairly open country. There will be some moderate scrambling across rocky terrain. Hikers should be very fit and comfortable with cross-country group travel. Milkshakes at the Fields Station will be our rewards for a successful summit.  \nVehicles should have decent clearance\, 4wd is preferred. Gas stations are far and few between in this area so drivers should plan on refilling their vehicles well before they would in town. Email me at eric160634@gmail.com with any questions. Additional details will be sent to participants about a week before the hike.

SUMMARY:Dorris Ranch to Clearwater
DESCRIPTION:This is a beautiful hike along the Middle Fork Willamette River.  There is very little elevation gain.  Most of the hike is in the forest and it should be cool enough to dress lightly.  Take snacks as we will rest at Clearwater Park and then retrace our path back to where we started.  Bring plenty of water.  Restrooms and water at Clearwater and Dorris Ranch parking lots.  Approximately three hours.  Meet at Dorris Ranch\, Springfield\, upper-level parking lot behind the bathrooms.\nOptional lunch at Plank Town.

SUMMARY:Exploding Whale Hike
DESCRIPTION:Take a hike  to the site of the exploding whale near Florence. Our walk will also pass the location of a memorial noting the solemn and mysterious stranding of 41 Sperm Whales in 1979. Gray Whales will be migrating just off the coast so keep an eye open. Come prepared for sun\, rain\, wind\, or cool temperatures. Bring lunch and snacks. \nMeet at the Target (West 11th in Eugene) parking lot and drive to Florence. In Florence\, drive south over the 101 bridge and turn west on South Jetty Road for 2 miles making a right at the “Y” onto Sand Dunes Road. Park ath the South Jetty Dog Ponds (alternate parking is an 1/8 miles back on the same side of the road) where we will set up a shuttle and drive north 5 miles to the South Jetty #7-Whale Memorial parking lot (pit bathrooms are available). We will be hiking up the jetty then south down the beach and back to the cars. \nIn 1970 a whale carcass near Florence became so foul smelling that local residents wanted it gone. An idea was hatched to use dynamite to blow the putrid mass into tiny little bits so scavengers would take care of the problem. What could go wrong? The result was a massive explosion that blew chunks of blubber far into the sky and onto cars and observers up to a quarter of a mile away. A car suffered some significant damage. Fortunately\, no one was injured\, but many were covered in goo. A TV report of the incident is classic viewing on the web. The story has become a local legend and it is known internationally as just “the exploding whale.”

SUMMARY:Horse Pasture Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Horse Pasture has one of the best views of the 3 Sisters and great wildflowers.  The summit has the remains of an old fire look out.  The trail starts in the woods and it breaks out on a rocky open slope where you can see the summit that when you reach it will give you a 360 degree view of the surronding country.
