Please do not litter\, and if you are so inclined\, picking up anything along the way is great. The Obsidians are responsible for the upper reaches of the trail\, and if you bring a plastic bag\, it makes it more likely you can throw in the extra poop bag that somebody left\, thinking they had done their job.\nIt is also a DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS hike. The last time I went up on top\, a squirrel was running across two women’s legs\, when they didn’t want him there. This occurs because the animals are habituated to food. Don’t add to the problem. It is not cute to think we are trying to tame animals that should remain wild. Thank you. mss \nIf 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 summertrips@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. \nTo get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left.

The shortest route is up and back (not the loop to Connor’s Camp connecting with RD 2005). We should start the hike around 9:30/9:45—depending on how long it takes us to navigate Eugene traffic.

You would probably want storm boots and pants (the heavy duty\, impermeable rain gear) and ear protection to do this.\n• The blackberries are encroaching all around the grounds perimeter\, so if you want to work on cutting them back dressing in thorn resistant long sleeved shirt and long pants would be good\, along with heavy gloves\, pruners and/or loppers.\n• The gutters on both the Lodge and the storage building need cleaning. This would involve working from a ladder.\n• Ivy and poison oak are climbing and taking over some trees and needs to be cut out. This would likely mean contact with the poison oak so knowledge of your sensitivity to it and how to deal with it would be important if you want to take this on.\n• We need to clean up the areas that we recently expanded our mowing into to the south and west of the Lodge.

We plan to take our time driving around the peninsula\, starting near Olympia and returning to Oregon via the beautiful Astoria-Megler Bridge. We will drive along the Hood Canal\, stopping at a waterside State Park. Although we are somewhat limited in where we can take the bus in the Olympic National Park\, we will drive to both the Hurricane Ridge and the Hoh Rain Forest visitor centers\, allowing time for short hikes. Our schedule will include a visit to pebbly Rialto Beach near La Push. We will spend two nights in Port Townsend (Harborside Inn) and one night in Port Angeles (Red Lion Hotel); both are on the waterfront with many points of interest within walking distance. As we travel on to Forks we will enjoy the natural beauty of forest\, lakes and rivers. Our fourth night will be at the Forks Motel. Be sure to bring a rain jacket as Forks gets about 120 inches rain per year. We will visit the Forks Logging Museum before continuing south on Hwy. 101 to Raymond which features steel sculptures of wildlife and people. We will also find a special point of interest here. On to Astoria\, our stay is at the (Comfort Suites Columbia River)\, which has a great view of the river and a nice adjacent walking trail. Our final day will include visiting the Maritime Museum\, the Astoria Column and lunch at the famous Camp 18 Restaurant and Logging Museum. We should return to Eugene before 6:00 p.m. A complete itinerary will be available at the Bus Rally and by request.\n Bring: National Parks Pass (Senior/Interagency Pass)\, rain jacket\, layered clothes\, good walking shoes\, camera\, binoculars\, sun screen\, bird book and a small cooler for lunch supplies. \nALL BUS TRIP PARTICIPANTS MUST COMPLETE A MEDICAL INFORMATION FORM FOR CURRENT YEAR.\n Medical form is available from registrar or at http://www.obsidians.org/com_bus \nCost: $760.00 Members $772.00 Non-Members $100.00 deposit due at registration $200.00 due May 15th\, $200.00 due July 15th\, Balance $260/$272 due August 15th\nSingle supplement $340.00\n(Checks payable to Obsidians Bus Trips) REGISTRATION & MAIL CHECKS TO: Judy Phelps\, 541-726-0118\n2774 Viewmont Ave.\, Springfield\, OR 97477 Meetup/Departure Location: ShopKo Coburg Rd/Chad Dr\,(btwn ShopKo & Taco Bell) URL:https://obsidians.org/event/exploring_the_olympic_peninsula-24546/ CATEGORIES:Bus Trips END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190922 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190923 DTSTAMP:20260714T224325 CREATED:20190920T070000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240424T101526Z UID:31403-1569110400-1569196799@obsidians.org SUMMARY:Mt Pisgah DESCRIPTION:Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee/station signs. We meet one row down from the gate and pay station. If you don’t have a Lane County permit\, allow time to use a credit card at the pay station by trailhead. Depending on weather\, I plan to take back trails like #4 or #5 and #2 to the summit\, avoiding the main trail #1. Our route will include a view of the burn area. Mileage and elevation could vary but around 6 miles at a steady pace. Estimated time is 3 hours so bring snacks. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions.

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 summertrips@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.

The first is obvious\, but sometimes people think throwing apple cores is acceptable. It is not. The second is bad for the animal\, encourages approaching of people\, with subsequent biting\, is a nuisance to others\, and treats wild animals like a petting zoo in which we are in control. Enjoy your snacks\, enjoy the hike\, and enjoy the animals. \nIf 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.

We will hike 2.5 miles to the viewpoint on Tam McAurthur Rim then continue along the trail and a user trail 2.2 miles to Broken Hand. We will hike around Broken Hand. This small section of trail is narrow and has drop off on one side\, so caution is necessary. Once around Broken Hand we will be able to look down on Broken Top lake nestled in the crater. This lake is sometimes called “No Name Lk”. We will be able to hike along the rim for awhile and scramble down a good trail to the lake.\nIt is a long\, but very rewarding\, day. If weather is clear we will have up close views of the Sisters.
