Oregon Hike & Hang

[bgraybackpacker]

Hello All

Let's see who is coming to this little shin dig.

I am in Friday and Saturday. Sunday is still iffy for me. If I am able to hike Sunday I am in for staying at the hot springs Sunday night too.

i'm still good to go friday and saturday - and sunday, pending on if people wanna stay at the hot springs.

mckenzie ranger stations says the trail is pretty clear from trailbridge on down - so we'll have to determine the starting point when we get up there.

I'm down all three days and depending on how I get there I'm good for the hotsprings too. Rain or shine. This man needs the woods stat.

beginning the 'interest' rally -

as assumed, a lot of the trail is likely snowbound above trail bridge.

i really want to actually hike - so, if you're still interested- check in here
the plans may become fluid, with the option of heading south to umqua- further westerly.

if we have a good sized crew, hiking from trailbridge down to the hotsprings
should be cleared enough, and a little more leisurely

The weather is looking fine and dandy so far for this spring trip. Exactly perfect for Spring in Oregon.
