“ If you live in the Portland area and like to hike with groups I am sure that this is a great group. I had not previously met any of the other people there tonight but they all seemed nice enough. It is a hour and a half drive for me just to get to Portland then the drive to where ever the hikes are. It is hard to justify the drive when I can hike right at our house. There were no groups closer than Portland when I had joined to try and find a new hiking buddy. As I drove to Portland I realised tonight that I am probably the only one from my area in this group. If I see a hike that I just have to do I will be sure to sign up for it but for now I will keep hiking at home. Hang in there for the Portland Metro crowd though. ”

“ What a beautiful summer hike. I was dying to jump in the inviting swimming holes (many other people were hiking in with towels as we were leaving) but there wasn't time with this group - and I didn't have a swim suit (I might have skinny dipped if there was a more private place further up river - but a lot of families on the main loop so you probably want to use a swim suit.) I was the only one curious to see Jawbone Flats - there is an interesting collection of antique pickup trucks (1920's), old wood stoves, and mining equipment decorating the walkway (slowly rusting and quite charming). I got a tour of the cabins. #1 and #7 are original buildings from the 1930's that have been updated. #1 is a very private 1 bedroom cabin that would be nice for a romantic getaway for two. It also looked like the swimming hole access was less steep on the road side of the loops Thanks Susan for organizing this delightful trip ”
