SUMMARY:Iron Mountain Geology
DESCRIPTION:We will check out the wild flowers and briefly note some of the fascinating volcanic and glacial geology. We will hike at a moderate pace with plenty of stops for water\, snacks and photography. We will be hiking counter-clockwise on the loop. Be prepared for possible patches of snow in the saddle between Iron Mountain and Cone Peak. If we encounter snow\, hiking poles (at least one) can be helpful. Participants have the option of climbing the switchbacks up to the summit or having lunch at the west side trail junction. We will need at least 3 drivers.

SUMMARY:Wicked Portland Walk
DESCRIPTION:This is a historic (exploratory) walk of downtown Portland’s wicked past (yes\, we will be eating\, enjoy a coffee or two\, and making a trip to Powells on this trip). \nPortland is now home to swank eateries\, posh coffee shops\, and a lively urban scene\, but at one time it was a wild seaport town with a wicked and lusty underworld. For decades\, weathered sea captains bartered in blood money for shanghaied recruits and seedy saloon grifters preyed on freshly arrived tenderfoots from the east. Portland was a place where rotgut whiskey flowed freely\, bordellos floated on the Willamette\, votes could be bought for a pint of beer\, saloons numbered 1 for every 40 people\, murder was common\, and corruption was a way of life. \nAlthough I’ve been to these locations this is the first time trying to piece together a good chunk of Portland’s historic wickedness. Everyone on this trip will help with digging up old stories\, finding locations of former saloons\, and trying to peel back the facade to reveal Portland’s colorful history underneath. We’ll also be looking at the cities modern side and artwork while we walk. \nThe trip begins & ends at the Eugene Amtrak Station. In Eugene\, please be outside the front of the train station by 7:20 am to board the bus. Car parking at the station is $6 and permits can be purchased at the outside kiosk outside. Our walk in Portland will have a relaxed pace\, there will be frequent stops\, and we’ll grab a bite of lunch somewhere. The plan is to be finished by 2 pm-ish\, allowing for personal free time in Portland to visit Powells etc. and to grab some food for the train. We should be inside Union Station by 5:30 pm for seat assignments. We’ll be back in Eugene by 8:40pm. \nINSTRUCTIONS:\nAfter signing up for the trip on the Obsidian website you will need to book the following at Amtrak.com; a round trip from the Eugene Amtrak Station (EUG) to Portland Union Station (PDX)\, round trip tickets can run about $58\, this is cheaper for seniors. \nThe bus/train combo we are taking this trip is:\nA. Leaving on Amtrak BUS #5544. 7:30 am – 10:15 am\nB. Returning on Amtrak Cascades TRAIN #505. 6:05 pm – 8:40 pm

SUMMARY:Mt Thielsen- Graduation Climb
DESCRIPTION:Let’s climb Mt Thielsen! This will be a one day\, drive-over-drive-back kind of trip. Thiesen is a great mountain because you get the forested hike\, the spicy ridge\, and one-pitch technical climb\, with all pieces being not too long.  \nAs we get closer to the date\, we’ll determine meet-up place. We’ll meet around 3am and drive to the trailhead.

SUMMARY:Mt Shasta- Hotlum-Bolam Route
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a slog up the North Ridge of Mt Shasta. Unlike the popular Avalanche Gulch on the South side\, this route sees much fewer ascents\, despite it’s many qualities. \nIt’s a non-technical route involving a single night on the moraine at 9\,400ft near a stream with great views. There’s no crevasse hazards\, and nothing above class 2 terrain\, with modeate snow to 35º \nBring overnight gear\, crampons\, standard ice axe\, helmet\, harness\, 2 locking carabiners\, and 2 prusiks. If anything deserves protecting\, it’s the last snow field before the summit\, because the runout below is dangerous and the snow may be icy and precarious. \nI’ll provide a long form description of what to expect for those who join. \nPlease inquire if you’d like more information!
