SUMMARY:Waldo Lake Kayak
DESCRIPTION:This is a redo of the 2016 Waldo kayak trip. The objective is to paddle the length of the lake on two consecutive days camping one night on the north end and a second night on the south shore. The 2016 trip went smoothly given the great weather we had. Any routes undertaken on this paddle will take into consideration the weather and the lake surface. We will be flexible. A poor weather forecast for the proposed dates will postpone the trip or cancel it. Daily starts will be early to avoid the afternoon winds at this elevation (over 5000 feet) that can bring whitecaps to the lake surface. With early starts\, we should be into camp by early afternoon. This will allow for day hikes into the Wilderness\, swimming\, or leisurely naps. I expect the mosquitos will not be a problem after a dry summer. Don’t expect it to be mosquito free.\nThe proposed trip is leave north lake put in by early afternoon\, camp Thursday near outlet to North Fork Willamette\, paddle to south end to spend Friday night\, return to north take out by mid to late afternoon on Saturday\, drive home.\nThere will be a pretrip meeting about a week before the trip. Unless you have done this paddle with me previously\, it will be mandatory. The pretrup meeting date will be announced shortly after signup opens. I’ll provide a trip checklist for gear needed for kayaking\, otherwise\, everyone will be expected to bring appropriate camp gear. The kayak pace will be leisurely to moderate. NO sit-on-top kayaks. You will want at least a 12 foot touring kayak or it may be difficult to keep up with other touring kayaks. Spray skirts are advised. PFDs are mandatory and will be worn. All paddlers must be comfortable paddling in wave conditions as the surface can go from smooth to rough with little warning.

SUMMARY:South Waldo Huckleberry Hike
DESCRIPTION:***QUESTIONABLE HUCKLEBERRY SEASON??***I was in the South Waldo area from Tuesday-Thursday and in NW Waldo (Winchester Ridge) the prior Thursday.  There are huckleberries\, but there are not many now\, and there aren’t many berries ripening.  This may change between now (Friday) and the hike\, but the 9 months and counting drought and one of the hottest summers on record is not being conducive to berry production.  \nEasy hike into Waldo Lake from Shadow Bay\, where huckleberries may be found along the south end and up the trail to Bingo Lake as well as further west on Waldo past the High Divide Trail junction (which leads to Bingo Lake.)  Bingo Lake would be a reasonable destination for berries\, lunch\, and a swim.  Or Waldo.  Plan on being up there until 2:30 so as to be back in Eugene in late afternoon.  It’s a good place to sit and read\, swim\, or relax.

SUMMARY:Broken Top
DESCRIPTION:This trip starts at 1:00 PM on Saturday at the Green Lakes / Fall Creek Trailhead. We will hike about 5 miles to a spring above Green Lakes where we will set up camp. At 6:00 AM Sunday\, we’ll hike the climbers trail to the north ridge and then follow the ridge south to the summit. At one spot just below the summit\, there is a short section of vertical climbing where you will follow a fixed rope with prusiks\, followed by an unroped\, exposed catwalk and final 20 feet of scrambling. Descent will include a short 12-foot rappel to get us back on the north ridge. Once back at the spring\, we’ll break down camp and hike out on the Green Lakes trail. Carpooling information will be distributed within a week before the climb.
