SUMMARY:Wicked San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION:\nThis is a 4-day (3-night) active walking exploration through wicked San Francisco; from its wild and lusty frontier days\, to exploring the halls of the notorious Alcatraz prison\, to ground zero for the fight against censorship. We’ll also enjoy some scandalous theater (Beach Blanket Babylon) that features biting satire and outrageously sized hats. The trip starts and ends in San Francisco at the historic Fort Mason Hostel. There will be ample walking opportunities to enjoy beautiful vistas\, historic neighborhoods\, and exploring this world-class city. \n======\nCOSTS:\nParticipants are responsible for managing all of their own expenses – transportation to/from Eugene to San Francisco\, overnight accommodations\, all food\, tickets to shows\, and miscellaneous costs.\nThese costs can run about $450-$500. Here’s a quick overview:\n# Allegiant Air is usually the most affordable airline and flies directly between Eugene and Oakland.\n# Accommodation at the hostel runs about $50 a night (approx. $150 total)\n# Traveling from the airport to the hostel via BART and the MUNI streetcar runs about $20.\n# Additional costs can run $150 and might include: Cable car ($7)\, Alcatraz fees ($40)\, Beach Blanket Babylon ($40)\, food\, etc. \n======\nSCHEDULE:\nDAY 1: Thursday\, November 22\, 2018\nThanksgiving Day. Arrive in San Francisco on your own time. The hostel has bag storage if you arrive early. Dinner is on your own. \nDAY 2: Friday\, November 23\, 2018\nStart the day with a complimentary breakfast at the hostel. We’ll catch a cable car ride across town to Market Street. At Union Square we’ll begin walking the Barbary Coast Trail and journey through San Francisco’s gold rush where people were shanghaied\, gambling was the currency\, and two saloon dogs were celebrities. We’ll explore Chinatown\, see where the American Gold Rush started\, and walk in the footsteps of the literary troublemakers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. We’ll even visit a Prohibition-era cave. In the late afternoon\, we’ll walk garden-lined walkways and seek out hidden stairways on our way back to the hostel. Our route will cross parts of Nob\, Telegraph\, and Russian Hills. Plan on walking 6-8 miles today. \nDAY 3: Saturday\, November 24\, 2018\nVisit Alcatraz Island in the late morning and return mid-afternoon. We’ll have a couple hours to relax or explore on your own before making our way to dinner and a performance of the the saucy musical review of Beach Blanket Babylon. Plan on walking about 5-6 miles today.  \nDAY 4: Sunday\, November 25\, 2018\nOpen: The day is free for your own explorations. \n======\nHOSTEL:\nWe’ll be staying at the historic Fort Mason Hostel (Hosteling International Fisherman’s Wharf). We will NOT be staying in one room as a group. Book a bed in one of the rooms they offer (I suggest one of the smaller rooms).

SUMMARY:Larison Rock
DESCRIPTION:Straightforward hike up a mountain biking trail maintained by GOATS.  Lunch on top of the rock.  Note departure time.  It’s not far out there and the hike itself isn’t too long.  If you can climb but you hate distance\, this is a decent hike.  If you love distance but don’t like climbing\, it isn’t a good hike.  No stream crossings.  Wear good footgear for the rocks and in general.  It’s in the woods except for the rocks.  We need to be careful of mountain bikers.  It’s their trail and it will be the Sunday before Thanksgiving. \nLeave no Trace hike and no deliberate feeding of wildlife\, please.

This is harmful to the squirrel\, and will kill it ultimately. In addition\, it creates a nuisance and a bite–need rabies treatment–risk. Finally\, the outdoor wildlife are not to be “subdued” to satisfy one’s ego.  Leave the animals alone\, please.

SUMMARY:Mt. Pisgah & Mushroom Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Mt. Pisgah Mushroom show starts at 10:00 so we should not have a problem parking at the North Trailhead where we will start the hike on Trail 3. Mileage is estimate depending on weather and participants.   Directions to North Trailhead: Instead of turning right to the usual meeting place at yellow fee box\, turn left after crossing the bridge spanning the Coast Fork of the Willamette River and proceed a 1/4 mile to a gravel parking area. A sign kiosk indicates the North Trailhead. You will need a Lane County Park pass. There is no fee box at this parking lot.  I plan to hike on the back trails and eventually make our way down to the mushroom festival where we can view and eat lunch. If you want to attend\, the suggested donation fee is $8.00. I recommend that you  pay online  (easy) and avoid standing in line.  http://www.mountpisgaharboretum.com/festivals-events/mushroom-festival-2018/    If questions or if you don’t have a Lane County Pass\, email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net

SUMMARY:Four in One Cone
DESCRIPTION:Come early enough to check in\, etc so we can depart on time.  It is an 1 hour and 45 minute drive to the trailhead on McKenzie Pass at the Scott Lake turn off. The outside toilets at the ranger station have been removed so I don’t have plans for a bathroom stop.  It will be an estimated five hours of hiking round trip at a steady moderate pace plus the time for lunch.  It could be windy\, cold\, and perhaps some ice on the trail.  The mileage does not include walking along the rim.    If rain is in the forecast\, I’ll substitute another hike lower down. My email is jbjacobsen@comcast.net.
