SUMMARY:Turkey Trimming
DESCRIPTION:This is the 6th Annual Turkey Trimming hike! It’s a fairly fast paced loop hike\, not a saunter; after all\, the goal is to burn off a few of the calories we ingested the previous day! The elevation gains are mostly in short\, steep spurts. Each year\, I vary the route. This year\, it’s a distinct seahorse shape! The route: along Amazon parkway (Rexius trail)\, over a couple of the new pedestrian/bike bridges\, up a portion of the Ridgeline trail\, 1 block down Willamette and then zigzagging between Donald and Fox Hollow.  You might just discover a road/path you have never been on. We will be back in the parking lot 12:30ish…… just in time for lunch. 1 toilet along the way.  Much of the route is on paved\, low traffic streets\, but about 1 mile is on the Rexius Trail and .5 mile on the Ridgeline Trail.

SUMMARY:Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:If this is your first time on this Obsidian hike and/or if this is first time you have hiked up Spencer Butte from the lowest elevation\, you may want to call the leader to discuss the pace.  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 you have questions\, email wintertrips@obsidians.org. Every Wednesday 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. A great way to get and stay in shape.  Registered guests are welcome.\n   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 call the leader if any questions. One can take LTD Bus #28 to Martin Street.

SUMMARY:Cardwell Hill and Fitton Green
DESCRIPTION:(Meet at Albertsons parking lot\, closest to Burger King\, Santa Clara 97404) We’ll carpool to Corvallis area and start our hike from Wren – Cardwell Hill Trail Trailhead.  From there\, we will hike on the Cardwell Hill Trail along the Marys River and then northeast into Fitton Green Natural Area with minimal elevation gain.  Then we turn south onto the Fitton Green North-South Trail and climb up to the Allen Thoop Loop for views of the Willamette Valley and Marys Peak.  Afterwards we head back on the North-South Trail and turn west on Amy’s Trail (which follows a creek) then explore the Crestmont Land Trust on one of several trails.  The final stint is northwest on Cardwell Hill Trail back to the parking lot.  Most of this hike is on gravel roads but one dates back to the 1850’s.

SUMMARY:Blanton Ridge to Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:This hike to the top of Spencer Butte takes the less traveled route from Blanton Road.  We’ll cross Blanton Ridge before continuing on from the 52nd and Willamette trailhead.   This option provides a good in town workout.. If the weather doesn’t co-operate we can forgo the exposed rocky steps near the top. \n To get to the trailhead from 29th & Willamette continue south on Willamette.  At Willamette/Donald St Intersection bear right on Willamette.  Immediately bear right again on to Crest Drive.  Follow signs staying on Crest for approximately 1.2 miles to the Junction with Blanton Road.  Turn left on Blanton.  The trial head is on your left in about ½ mile. \nAnother way to get to the Blanton trailhead is to go south on Chambers until it ends at Crest Drive. Turn left on to Crest.  In about ½ mile turn right on Blanton Road.

SUMMARY:Obsidian Grounds
DESCRIPTION:This work party will focus on new plantings for the Lodge grounds.  We will create a new planting bed above the Lodge with Oregon grape and sword ferns\, add a smaller bed in the parking area with red-twigged dogwood\, plant  3 or 4 giant sequoia in the far parking island and plant a Port Orford Cedar that Dave Predeek has grown from a cone and is donating to the Obsidians.   Other than Dave’s cedar all the plantings have been collected from my property.  If we have adequate help and time\, I hope we can gather some of the fall leaves both as mulch for the new plantings and to remove from grass areas so we don’t kill the grass over winter.

SUMMARY:Larison Rock
DESCRIPTION:This is a nice low elevation trail through the woods and the periphery of the Deception Complex burn to Larison Rock\, which has nice views to the south.  It is close in\, so the drive is not long.  The hike is short\, but the climb is significant although spread out throughout the hike.   It is\, however\, a MB trail\, so it likely is to be in decent shape.  We probably will be back to LCC by early afternoon (2-3).

SUMMARY:Blanton Heights to Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:This hike to the top of Spencer Butte takes the less traveled route from Blanton Road.  We’ll cross Blanton Ridge before continuing on from the 52nd and Willamette trailhead.   This option provides a good in town workout.. If the weather doesn’t co-operate we can forgo the exposed rocky steps near the top. Shorter options might be considered. \n To get to the trailhead from 29th & Willamette continue south on Willamette.  At Willamette/Donald St Intersection bear right on Willamette.  Immediately bear right again on to Crest Drive.  Follow signs staying on Crest for approximately 1.2 miles to the Junction with Blanton Road.  Turn left on Blanton.  The trial head is on your left in about ½ mile. \nAnother way to get to the Blanton trailhead is to go south on Chambers until it ends at Crest Drive. Turn left on to Crest.  In about ½ mile turn right on Blanton Road.
