Oh what a good time we had. Trish again was hosting the annual BBQ at her house with the ever present Donna taking care of the details. Thanks to both of you. What a spread we had. There was BBQ Brisket, BBQ Chicken, BBQ Ribs and my personal favorite BBQ Pork. Of course there were salads, breads, chips, pineapple something or other which seemed to be a favorite of everyone and of course George and Sarah brought their home made icecream, Yum! I think it goes without saying that everybody had a good time. News of this event must be spreading because there were members present that I had never seen before and some that hadn't been on a hike in years. There might have even been a couple of interlopers!

Benton Falls 9.11.18
Another fabulous hike presented by Trish. We had a rather long drive up to the trail head. It was quite foggy on the way up the last 7 miles but once we broke through the fog layer there were only high clouds blocking the sun. This was fine as it made for a much cooler hike than normal. The only problem was that the fog obscured the overlooks on the way up. However, on the way back down the fog had lifted and we had some really beautiful views. The the problem was condensation on the camera lens which ruined some of the pictures. The total distance of this 2.5 hour hike was 3.5 miles and I would rate it as mostly easy with a couple of moderate areas. The falls were absolutely beautiful as you can see by the pictures. At the falls most of the hikers had snacks and lunch. On the way back, we took a slightly different route which made the hike a loop and more interesting. Everyone of the 14 hikers had a great time I think. If you would like to see a bunch of pictures including a map and altitude chart, click here.
