SUMMARY:Amazon Headwaters Brushing 2
DESCRIPTION:For this month’s outing we will return to the Amazon Headwaters Trail for some concentrated brushing.  We’ll be working to cut back Maple so that it grows up and away from the trail.  We will be doing this in a short section along one of the bridges.  Additional task options will include cutting back blackberries at the trailhead.   \nJust a heads up that there is poison oak in the area. \nMeet at the Fox Hollow Trailhead parking lot\, the gravel lot on Fox Hollow across from the Cascades Raptor Center.

SUMMARY:Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Flexible departure time from 7:45 to 8:00.\nEvery Wednesday since 2013 we do this hike from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte. Compared to starting at the paved Spencer Butte parking lot\, this hike has double the climbing and three times the distance. It is a conditioning hike where everyone is challenging themselves to go at a moderate or fast pace—not like the other hikes on our schedule. If this is your first time on this Obsidian conditioning hike\, or hiking to Spencer Butte\, you may want to call the leader to discuss the pace. If you should fall too far behind\, the leaders reserve the right to have you not summit but wait and return with the group.  The regulars on this hike have attained their fitness by showing up consistently and slowly improving.  If you have questions\, email summertrips@obsidians.org. Come a few minutes early because we leave promptly at the listed time. To get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park Martin Street near the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol. Please contact the leader if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Macduff Mountain
DESCRIPTION:This year will be the 92nd anniversary of the placing of a brass plaque on Macduff Mt to honor Nelson Macduff\, a former forest service supervisor and Obsidian member.  I’ll be hiking to the summit from road 411\, a steep rough road not suitable for low clearance vehicles.  The trail is a well engineered route up a steep ridge through a well shaded forest with some great wildflowers and rhododendrons.  From the summit we’ll hopefully have a clear view of the Cascades and the McKenzie River Valley.  Some of our group may stop at Takoda’s after the hike.
