Our walk will focus on the lighter side of academics including student life over the decades\, campus legends\, and famous pranks. Did you know the first UO mascot was a goat that wore a green sweater? Going to a saloon was grounds for a student being kicked out. That an affair helped to create a schism between the UO and OSU. And that the famous “O” on Skinner Butte has been painted multiple times\, but not with brushes. The walk begins and ends at Espresso Roma (825 E 13th Ave\, Eugene\, next to the Duck Store). Our walk should be finished by noon.

All hikes are limited to a 10 person max\, members only\, and no fees are being collected. Social distancing will be maintained. Everyone is required to carry a face covering and know how to use it properly. Carry hand sanitizer. More information is available on the website. \nCome between 8\, the earliest starting time\, and 8:30\, the latest\, although a 9:00 trip is occurring as well\, so a little before 8:30 plan to start. People will arrive\, let me know they are there\, and start hiking. Please remember to stay 2m or 6′ apart. If you meet someone going your way\, excuse yourself and pass. If someone is coming the other way and doesn’t get over\, then step aside and face the woods. The flowers are great. You don’t have to wear a mask if nobody is within 50 yards. I went up with a cloth mask and found it easier to keep it on. I had no trouble breathing. But you aren’t required to keep it on. \nI do plan going to the top. Again\, stay apart there\, and we will start down in a staggered fashion\, since we will meet some coming up. There is actually more room on the steps than there is on many parts of the lower trail. \nNOTE: If you haven’t done hills since March\, you will feel it. I was up in the rain on Tuesday\, however\, and it was good to be back. I went up there this weekend with loppers to clean up the face swatters. Lots of fringe cup to brush legs.

Andrews Experimental Forest and carries prohibitions against removing materials. This is from the H.J.Andrews website:\nFishing and collection of forest products\, such as flowers\, moss\, mushrooms\, bear grass\, or fir boughs\, are prohibited on the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. Many of these organisms are being studied by researchers and their removal can have serious\, negative impacts.\nThe trail is often steep and has some awkward sections. The total trail length is 3.5 miles but as of 2019 we only go in around two miles and turn around. This is because beyond that point means a dangers creek crossing and then a 3 mile road walk back to the start of the hike at the west trailhead.
