SUMMARY:Groundhog Day
DESCRIPTION:Guests are  welcome!  This is a great way to check out the Obsidian Lodge. Meet at the Masonic Cemetery\, 26th and University\, main gate. This is the 6th annual Groundhog Day Hike. Somehow  we have enticed a groundhog to emerge. We  will hike trails in the Cemetery\, then  for an uphill steady push on city streets  past the Laurelwood Golf Course to the Ribbon Trail\, Obsidian Lodge\, Hendricks Park. We will loop back by 19th & Agate before we take a direct route back to our cars. Mileage will depend how many areas we explore in Hendricks Park and how long it takes to find the groundhog.   Expect a grand display of snowdrops in the In the Cemetery.   We may divide into two groups.\nIf the elevation or mileage is a problem\, email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net    Perhaps we could meet up with you at the golf course.

SUMMARY:Mt. Pisgah
DESCRIPTION:Description: Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee signs. Look for the yellow fee box. I’ll try to have my car in the row below so that it is easy for us to meet\, sign up. etc.  Depending on weather\, I plan to take back trails to the summit\, avoiding the main trail #1.

Once we reach the summit\, you have the option of going back down on the main trail for total of 6 miles or continuing on to north trailhead for a total of 7.4 miles. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions.\nIf you don’t have a Lane County pass  allow time to purchase one at the pay station by trailhead.

SUMMARY:Rosary Lake(s)
DESCRIPTION:This is a low end difficult/high moderate snowshoe mostly on the basis of distance.  We will snowshoe in on the PCT from Willamette Pass to Lower Rosary Lake\, climbing about 700 feet in just over 3 miles. The ascent is gentle.  Depending upon the conditions\, we will continue either over or (more likely) around the lake up over a divide to Middle Rosary Lake (if we can)\, around it and the short distance to the south end of Upper Rosary Lake.  Pulpit Rock will be above us\, but we won’t be climbing up to Tait’s Loop Trail.  Expect adequate snow\, probably icy. Return way we came\, plan on being back at LCC around 3-4.

SUMMARY:Thurston Hills
DESCRIPTION:Willamalane recently acquired 665 acres and developing hiking and biking trails along the south Thurston hills. We will hike finished North Access Trail staring from parking-lot at 7575 McKenzie Hwy\, Springfield\, OR.\nNew trail-head has parking\, a restroom\, an interpretive kiosk\, a picnic table\, benches and a bike wash & service area.   ⛄\nNew parking lot can take approx. 20 cars. Consider car pooling from Albertsons (5755 S Main St\, Springfield\, OR) so that Obsidians don’t take up so many spaces.

SUMMARY:Redtop Mountain
DESCRIPTION:From the Crescent Lake Sno-park we will take the Pretty Lake Trail and ascend the east side of Redtop.  We will plan to ski down either the east or north sides depending on conditions and group desire.  It’s possible we will loop back via Pretty Lake or possibly Fawn Lake.  Mileage should be between 8 and 10 miles.  Prepare for a long day and turns on the way down!\n***Please check here the day before the trip to make sure it is a go.  Lets hope for some more snow!!!*****\n                                                   February 2nd update!!!!\nI do plan on doing this trip on Sunday.  Please beware that snow levels are VERY marginal.  Be prepared for bare ground in the first mile or so.  Skiing will be difficult with the low snow levels.  Just pretend this is a late SPRING ski.  Who knows\, it might be the last ski of the season.  I’ll see all of those that don’t mind a low snow adventure on Sunday!

SUMMARY:PCT-Rosary Lks-Tait’s Loop
DESCRIPTION:This may be the last Snowshoe for the year in the Willamette Pass area.  We will be starting at the PCT trailhead\, where there is likely to be decent snow.  However\, there are separate bare regions on the trail and other areas are low snow conditions\, so rather than putting snowshoes on only to take them off\, I would plan on hiking the first two miles.  We will need snowshoes after that\, going by the three Rosary Lakes and then climbing up to Tait’s Loop trail for lunch on the overlook over Middle or Lower Rosary Lake.  After lunch\, we will head back down the Tie Trail to the PCT and back out\, shedding the snowshoes at the bare region and hiking out.  On 3 February\, the conditions were good for snowshoeing (did not remove them at all) and above 5800’ (between Lower and Middle Rosary Lakes) the snow was about 2-3 feet deep.  Up on the Loop\, it should be even deeper.  Plan on no significant precipitation\, have sunscreen\, a way to affix snowshoes to your pack if you wish.

SUMMARY:Clear Lake
DESCRIPTION:If the road is icy we will park at Ickinick sno park and cross the road to Clear Lk.  I scouted Clear Lake on 2/13.  The last few weeks of warm sun has melted the snow.  The trail was mostly bare with some sections of packed down sno.  At this time\, you can hike it in boots and will need poles for the few icy sections\, but take your snow shoes since there is some snow expected this week and it might be more than anticipated. I am looking for additional drivers.

Bring a SIT PAD and POLES to get up/down steep ice pack on the trail safely. Trail goes for about 0.8 miles up a road\, then breaks into a series of long\, gentle switch-backs through mostly Doug Fir and Hemlock stands.

During that time\, another 12 to 24  inches of snow are expected. \n“* WHERE…In Washington\, South Washington Cascades. In Oregon\, Northern Oregon Cascades and Cascades in Lane County.  \n“* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Travel will be very difficult at times\, especially on Sunday. Strong gusty (winds) on Sunday will create near  blizzard conditions over the passes\, with significant blowing and drifting snow\, and reduced visibilities.” \nFrom other sites\, expect 21-27 inches above 4000 feet\, winds 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 and 5000′ winds up to 50 mph\, with possible blizzard conditions.  Oakridge is expecting 1-2 inches of rain.  The drive WOULD be dangerous.  The snowshoeing would likely be in whiteout conditions periodically.
