North Fork of Willamette

May 6, 2006

After a period of typical Eugene spring weather, we had a break, the sun came out. Eight interested hikers left to explore a new Forest Service trail (one year old), the North Middle Fork of the Willamette. What we found was just as it was described in Sullivan’s book, several miles of beautiful, old growth Douglas fir trees and a difficult stream crossing. No one got wet except the leader. After the crossing we came upon another rare sight, a large, untouched grove of western red cedars, some eleven feet in diameter.

Members: Walt Dolliver (leader), Julie Dorland, Debra Higbee, Sherwood Jefferies, Barbara Morgan and Mary Peel. Nonmembers: Chuck Eyers and Debbie Hibbard.
