Hike coordinator: Rheo Wheeler Narration by Rheo Wheeler What does one do on Thanksgiving weekend? On Saturday, there were only 5 of us who decided hiking was the answer. Liz, Cleve and I met at the courthouse and met Shannon and Jan at South Slough. There was no sunshine, but just a drizzle here and ………….click here to read more.
Hike Coordinator: Rheo Wheeler Narration by Rheo Wheeler We had five that traveled from Roseburg, meeting two who traveled north from camping at Eel Lake that took part in the Siltcoos Lake loop trail.

Hike Coordinator – Richard O’Neill I don’t want to get cocky by saying I dialed up a beautiful day because as soon as the weather gods find out I said that (and they will!), then I will never lead a hike in anything but rain, sleet, or snow.
