Hike coordinator: Richard O’Neill Narration by Richard O’Neill Only 4 other hikers showed up for this hike. There was a reason for the low turnout, mainly the weather, so I didn’t feel like no one likes me, which may be true. We had sleet, snow, hail, rain, wind, cold and oddly enough, sun and warmth. ………….click here to read more.

Hike coordinator: John Malone A dozen or so hikers did some sand walking on this spring day on Tahkenitch Dunes.

Hike coordinator: Terry Andreucci Narration by Terry Andreucci March 19th turned out to be a typical spring day in southern Oregon… “If you don’t like the weather now, just wait, it will change”.

Hike coordinator: Missy Kroeker Narration by Missy Kroeker Mt. Pisgah… Mt. Pisgah? It’s kind of a weird name. Upon investigation, the word literally means, “summit”. That’s just what we did, summit a 1,500 foot mount. Mt. Pisgah, by the way, is located in the Howard Buford recreation area just outside of Eugene. As is our habit, a group of old ………….click here to read more.

Hike coordinator: Lane Harris Narration by Lane Harris In the 1850’s Jacksonville was a thriving gold rush town, and the nearby hillsides were pockmarked with mines.

Hike coordinator: Lane Harris Narration by Lane Harris Last summer, I explored the Siltcoos River along the Waxmyrtle Trail. While trudging through nearly a mile of deep, soft sand where every step felt like 10, I thought to myself, hey, I bet this would make a great club hike! Actually, the Waxmyrtle trail which meanders ………….click here to read more.

Hike coordinator: Richard O’Neill Narration by Richard O’Neill Last year, in my never-ending quest to find a trail I’ve never hiked on, I wound up on a section of the Oregon Coast Trail that ran from Humbug Mountain State Park to a rather nondescript trailhead between the park’s campground and the nearby town of Port ………….click here to read more.
