SUMMARY:Sand Mountain Lookout
DESCRIPTION:Sand Mountain is a cinder cone south of Hoodoo Ski area. There are fairly steep open slopes\, with the potential for a fun descent on the north or east side.  We will go to the lookout if conditions permit. High winds or low visibility may force changes in the itinerary\, however.\nWith generous snow pack that has accumulated recently we are now planning to set up a car shuttle and ski from Hoodoo ski area parking lot\, southwest and then west to Sand Mountain\, and go down from there to the Little Nash sno-park. This allows for an 11-12 mile trip\, with about 1500 ft. climbing and 2500 ft. descending.

SUMMARY:Eugene Historic Streetcar
DESCRIPTION:We’ll walk the 5.6-mile route of Eugene’s historic Fairmount streetcar “trolley” line. For twenty years\, between 1907-1927\, trolleys/streetcars operated in Eugene along eighteen miles of electrified tracks. There were nine cars and four routes for this city of 11\,500 people. Only the finest cars were used and each was superbly-crafted\, they even included heaters and rattan seats! The cars were up to 45-feet long and could carry up to 100 passengers. The cost was 5 to 10 cents per trip. \nOur walk will begin at the Morning Glory Cafe at 9:00 am just across from the Southern Pacific depot (known today as the Amtrak Station) on Willamette Street. The hike will continue to downtown Eugene\, the University of Oregon\, the Masonic Cemetery\, and Hendricks Park. Near the far end of the route\, at 26th & 27th Avenues\, we can do some quick detective work and try to find where the cars ran. On the return trip\, we’ll see some of the last remaining tracks embedded in the street and pass the location of the former carbarn where the cars were serviced. The walk will end at the bus station (11th & Willamette)\, about 11:00 am.

SUMMARY:Eel Creek
DESCRIPTION:We will travel down I-5 to the Drain exit and through Elkton.  We will stop at Dean Creek Elk Reserve for a bathroom break and elk viewing.  15 miles south of Reedsport we will reach our trailhead.  This area of the dunes has some of the highest dunes and no orv’s I hope.  Last year there was so much water in the deflation plane we could not find the trail to the beach.  That should not be a problem this year.  This trip will not be cancelled due to weather.  There could be some water in the deflation plane which might mean wet feet bring dry shoes and socks.  We will return to Eugene via Florence.  TRIP CANCELED. JH/\n3/24/18
