>This past weekend we hiked up Spencer Butte with some friends from out of town. It was cold but beautiful. We saw some folks from the Obsidians doing trail maintenance. And, on our way down, we passed a large group of sorority women on their way up (some looked happy, others looked like they were wondering why they were there). Our big concern for the hike was poison oak, but I think we did okay.

There is nothing like getting outdoors, especially with family and friends. It is amazing to see how much the kids thrive when in nature. I’m loving the change of seasons.
