We kicked off the 2008 hiking season on our 4th alternate.
1st was up the north ridge of Mary's Peak
2nd was Triangulation Peak
3nd was Opal Creek to Cedar Flats
we had to abandon all of the above because of too much snow.
we ended up down here in the swamp (W-valley) a few miles outside of corvallis on the Oak Creek trail system. we ended up hiking farther and higher than we had origianlly planned with the first 3 hikes. it was a workout! 6 miles and 2000ft elevation change.
I'd like to do Table Rock just as soon as the snow melts, but who knows when that'll be. i may have to look to the coast for the next couple of hikes, Cape Perpetua maybe?
We have officially delcared this summer to be the season of hiking, fishing, and camping!
blogs and photo albums of our adventures will be marked with corresponding titles.
