{PDF EPUB} 100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades by William L Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} 100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades by William L. Sullivan Central Oregon Cascades. Several years ago we set a goal for ourselves to hike all 500 featured hikes in William L. Sullivan’s “100 Hikes…” series of guidebooks (post). In 2020 we finished the first of his five guidebooks covering the Central Oregon Cascades. The achievement became bittersweet just 10 days after finishing the final featured hike at Erma Bell Lakes (post) when a freak windstorm caused the Lionshead and Beachie fires to explode burning a number of the trails that we had hiked on our journey to complete this goal. On the one hand we were fortunate enough to see these areas before they burned but it also means being more aware of what was lost, at least for the time being. The 2020 fires were not the first to burn trails that we’d hiked in the area, sometimes after and sometimes before. Fire is part of a forest’s cycle but their time frames take much longer than ours. For this post we want to recap our journey to complete the 100 featured hikes while sharing a little of what the area looked like as we experienced it but first a little context. The area that Sullivan covers in the Central Cascades book, as well as his books for the other four areas, isn’t exactly easy to define. The vast majority of hikes could be fit into a rectangle starting with the upper left hand corner in Salem and extending east to Highway 97 then south to the junction of highways 97 & 58, then west until intersecting with a line due south from Salem. (The imaginary line follows I5 south until Cottage Grove where the freeway jogs SW.) That is over simplification though as that description overlaps at times with hikes described in the NW & Eastern books and excludes two featured hikes west of I5 and two east of Highway 97. The first snip below generally shows the described rectangle with the hiker symbols representing trailheads where we have started hikes (not limited to the featured hikes being discussed here). The second snip excludes any hikes that are included in one of the other areas that Sullivan covers. The area is home to a variety of landscapes and ecosystems and contains at least parts of nine designated Wilderness Areas: Opal Creek, Bull of the Woods, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington, Three Sisters, Menagerie, Middle Santiam, Waldo Lake, and Diamond Peak. The area has been hit by a number of large fires since 2000. The map below covers the same approximate area as the second map above. The colored areas represent fires with yellow being 2000-2005, light orange 2006-10, dark orange 2011-14, and red 15-19. Not included in the map above are the Green Ridge, Beachie or Lionshead Fires from 2020. The Green Ridge fire did not burn over any of the featured hikes (it did burn part of the Green Ridge Trail) but the Beachie and Lionshead Fires impacted a number of hikes in the Mt. Jefferson, Bull of the Woods and Opal Creek Wilderness and surrounding areas. The map below includes the Riverside Fire (large fire to the north), Beachie and Lionshead (center left and right which combined after Labor Day) and the Green Ridge Fire (SE). We were lucky enough to complete many of the hikes prior to them being burned but we also hiked a number post fire and have seen the recovery in process. I’ve done my best to note below if a featured hike has experienced fire since 2000 with the year and name of the fire. After all of that here are the 100 featured hikes from the 2012 4th edition of “100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades”: #1 – Ankeny Wildlife Refuge-Hiked 4/6/2014. #2 – Silver Fall-Hiked 2006, 7/30/2010 & 3/29/2018 Middle North Falls. #3 – Shellburg Falls-Hiked 5/23/2011 Burned-2020 Beachie Fire Shellburg Falls. #4 – Little North Santiam-Hiked 4/5/2012 Burned-2020 Beachie Fire. #5 – Henline Falls & Henline Mountain 7/27/2009 & 6/14/2020 Burned-2020 Beachie Fire Henline Falls. #6 – Opal Creek 7/4/2010, 7/4/2012, 6/21/2014 & 7/24/2019 Burned-2020 Beachie Fire Jawbone Flats. #7 – Dome Rock and Tumble Lake 7/18/2010 Burned-2020 Beachie Fire Tumble Lake from Dome Rock. #8 – Battle Ax and Twin Lakes 9/20/2014 Mt.

  • Black Butte Ranch R.F.P.D
    BLACK BUTTE RANCH R.F.P.D. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING September 28, 2017 Rodger Gabrielson called the meeting to order at 09:03 a.m. Board of Directors: Don Bowler Rodger Gabrielson Dave Gibson Tom Sawyer Larry Stuker Administration: Chief Dan Tucker Deputy Chief Dave Phillips Jamie Vohs APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion: Tom Sawyer moved to approve the July 27, 2017 meeting minutes as presented, seconded by Don Bowler, unanimously passed. REPORTS Treasurer Report Larry briefly went through the treasurer reports and inquired on the following line items: uniforms, professional & legal, training and ambulance revenue. Motion: Don Bowler moved to accept the July & August 2017 financial reports as presented, seconded by Larry Stuker, unanimously passed. Chief’s Report – Chief Tucker Fire and Ambulance Report – Chief Tucker The fire and ambulance report will be changing a bit. The current process is lengthy and Chief Tucker hopes to be able to use Intterra more frequently in the future as it will be offering more options. Intterra was a great resource during the fires. There were less medical calls during the times of the fires. It is believed people were more alert and aware of the busyness of the fire department. Chief Tucker discussed: The department was well prepared for the eclipse. Sisters did not see the amount of people that were projected. With that said, it is believed that Black Butte Ranch saw more people than projected. Madras area saw what was expected. D/C Phillips was at the MACC (Multi-Agency Coordination Center) the week of the eclipse and he felt it served the Tri-County area very well.

    Oregon Nordic Club PORTLAND CHAPTER SEPTEMBER 2017 Determined trail tenders on Meadows Creek On August 9, our determined group of nine-and-a-half did not let the warm weather deter us from our mission. We arrived at the Meadows Tie Trail and Ken Wenzel split up into three groups to divide and get the job done. Four of us started at the trail’s end on the Pocket Creek Road, looping off small trees and limbs. The other two started hanging diamonds. To our great surprise, Jim Thornton showed up and helped us loop for an hour and chatted about the Forest Service and how our club was doing. Jim wants to do an overnight trip to Tilly Jane this January with our club. When we got to the creek Jim said good bye and headed back to his truck. We continued on and completed our mission at about 2 p.m. We hung over 50 diamonds and looped off many hundreds of small trees. To finish the day we headed down to the stream cross- ing and had lunch with cold beverages. A job well done! Thanks Jim for coming down to visit.
