SUMMARY:Four-In-One Cone
DESCRIPTION:****NOTE WEDNESDAY 1600\nNot yet canceling the hike. If 242 is OK we can get up there. There will be no significant precipitation the next three days other than a little Fri. night. It will be cold Sunday\, probably mid-20s at the start warming to the mid-40s. There will also be snow on the trail\, so micro spikes\, poles\, some of those things might be helpful. \nI am planning to make the decision no later than Sat. noon and maybe Friday.  If you see 242 is closed\, that will automatically cancel the hike\, since we can’t get up there. \nI’m rescheduling for 29 October.  May or may not work\, but I want to try again.  See below! \nWeather forecast is for rain beginning after 11. Snow is on the trail at the 2 mile mark but it is passable. I haven’t seen anything about wind in the forecast\, but I wanted to give everybody an update.  Going up on the cone itself may not be a great idea if the forecast pans out. Stay tuned.\n*** \nAnnual hike up the cone. Nice 3 mile hike to the volcanic area gradually ascending with 2 sections of walking in the  volcanic debris. Climb the cone and have lunch on top. Return to vehicles by 230 or 3. Nice views of Black and Yapoah Craters\, Collier Glacier and Cone\, North and Middle Sisters\, and the Husband\, as well as the northern Oregon high Cascades.  Plan on any weather. It can be warm\, but we’ve had snow on the cone (once) and had lunch in the woods because of rain (twice). If the weather is unsuitable\, we won’t climb the cone because of exposure (not yet). \nPlan on layers including gloves. It can be chilly up there this time of year. Wear good sturdy boots. Walking sticks and gaiters are useful but not essential. No water sources on the hike. \nWe logged out the trail on 28 September.

SUMMARY:Finley: Autumn Loop
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the Jerry’s Home Improvement Center parking lot  (2600 OR-99\, Eugene\, OR 97402) near the main entrance and Theona Dr\, on the Hwy 99 side. Here are the coordinates: 44.098851\, -123.168236. We will carpool from Jerry’s. Our route will be 99W through Monroe > West on Alpine Cutoff Road > North on Bellfountain Road > to The Finley Refuge Road to the Headquarters. \nThis hike makes a loop through the William L Finely National Wildlife Refuge to experience the largest remaining tract of native Willamette Valley wet prairie in autumn. We will look for wildlife during this time of seasonal change. Expect to see fields interspersed with Oregon white oak\, meandering creeks\, bottomlands of Oregon ash\, and some old-growth big lead maple. \nWe will begin at the Refuge Office and walk south along the Mill Hill trail through the forest to the trail junction. We will take the junction to head through fields to the Cattail Pond and then south to Bruce Road. At Bruce Road\, we turn east and walk along the refuge’s southern boundary to the Cheadle Marsh Trail. We will walk around the marsh and then over to Pigeon Butte. If the weather is clear\, we will make a side trip to the quarry overlook on the butte. We continue on the trail north past Cabell Marsh to the Homer Campbell Boardwalk then continue west/south on the gravel road back to the parking area. At the Woodpecker Loop Trail —if the trail is open— we’ll take the wooded southern trail to the Intertie Trail\, cross the gravel access road\, and return to the Refuge Office building and our cars. There is a restroom at the building with an area to change into dry clothes if needed.
