SUMMARY:Wildlife Safari and More
DESCRIPTION:Spring is here and so is our first Obsidian bus trip. Sign up now to visit the recently renovated Creswell Historic Schoolhouse\, Wildlife Safari\, and the Douglas County Museum. Our own Verlean McCoy\, Obsidian and chair of the Creswell Heritage Foundation\, will tell us about the seven-year\, $365\,000 effort to save\, restore\, and transform an 1875 schoolhouse\, church\, clubhouse\, and finally a library\, into a community center. The restoration is remarkable; just in time for the 150th anniversary of the schoolhouse next year.\nAfter coffee and pastry across the street at the Creswell Bakery (on your own)\, we head down I-5 to Winston. If you have not visited Wildlife Safari before\, you are in for a treat. This 600-acre animal park features over 500 animals from around the world\, roaming freely as though in the wild. Our 56-passenger motor coach will provide views from on high as we slowly drive the 4.5 mile loop\, with our onboard safari guide narrating. After lunch\, we switch seats to the other side of the bus and go through the park a second time. Bring your lunch or purchase burgers\, sandwiches\, and salads ($10 to $17.75) at the Safari Grill. Explore animal exhibits\, a petting zoo\, gift shop\, and artwork in the Safari Village.\nWe head next to the Douglas County Museum. You could spend a day exploring the Smithsonian-quality exhibits in this gem of a museum. We will have about one and a half hours to take in the train depot\, loggers bunkhouse\, Oregon Trail exhibit\, David Douglas Natural History Area\, and much more. Did you know that a 1959 explosion of a dynamite truck leveled eight city blocks in Roseburg? There is something for all\, and a gift shop to boot.\nCost is $80 for members and $83 for nonmembers. We board the bus at 7:45 a.m. at Valley River Center\, west of Regal Cinemas and next to the bike path and river. The bus departs at 8:00 a.m. Our expected return is around 5:00 p.m. Bring a water bottle. Optional: a snack\, binoculars\, a lunch\, or lunch money. Make payment to “Obsidians Bus Trips” and send to Judy Garwood\, 4145 East Amazon Drive\, Eugene\, OR 97405. You can contact Judy at 541-683-5539. Payment is due before April 29. Please join us for an exciting and informative day. Limited to 40 persons.

SUMMARY:St. Vinnies Greatest Hits
DESCRIPTION:This will be a full day of touring the great community projects provided by St. Vincent de Paul\, and will include a lot of walking and a short bus ride. It will be a wonderful opportunity to learn firsthand about all the services St. Vinnie’s provides our community\, and to meet some of the staff and volunteers who are doing this good work for all of us. Throughout the day\, you’ll find yourself saying\, over and over again\, “Wait\, what?! St. Vinnie’s does THAT too?” \nWe’ll gather at First Place Family Center for introductions and a tour\, then walk downtown\, passing by\, but not stopping at\, several affordable\, energy-efficient housing sites. \nFrom downtown we’ll take LTD bus #41 to the Lamb Building affordable housing site for a quick presentation\, and walk to a Safe Sleep site for a tour. \nAfter a late picnic lunch at MLK Jr. Park we’ll tour the Cleveland St. warehouse and recycling center. We’ll finish the day with optional retail therapy at St. Vinnie’s at 888 Garfield and/or 1870 W. 11th. \nYou can either walk back to First Place Family Center (4.7 miles) or take the bus back (~ 45 min). Total mileage will be 11.1 miles if you walk back\, and 6.4 miles if you take the bus back. \nNote: You could also arrange a car shuttle for the return to First Place Family Center\, by leaving a car at our last destination.
