Blog Gone to Ore-Gon

Not much will appear on the "Meandering" blog during the next two weeks. Dick Jordan will be driving up to Southern Oregon while we're hiking on Mount Tam's East Peak on Tuesday, September 16th. After spending a few days catching plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, he'll head north and east to do a little hiking and sightseeing at Crater Lake National Park.

When we do our trek up the side of Mount Barnabe on September 23rd, Dick will be rolling south down Highway 97 through Klamath Falls, past the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges, and on to the town of McCloud on the south side of Mount Shasta for an overnight stay at the McCloud Hotel before finishing the final leg of the journey back to Marin on the 24th.

Although Dick will be out of town, he has written hike "previews" for the East Peak and Samuel P. Taylor hikes. After he returns, he'll add Wendy's lists of what you saw on those hikes to the blog. (If anyone wants to write a post-hike "post" and e-mail them to Dick, he'll add those to the blog, too). Dick has asked Theresa Fisher to send him any photos she shoots on those treks so they can be added to the blog on-line photo album.
