Date: November 3, 2009 | Location Brice Creek Trail Hike | Where: Cottage Grove Ranger District, Umpqua National Forest | When you combine exercise, an outdoor activity, and companionship on the same day, it's bound to be a good one. This is just what happened on this trip, our friend Eddie Harrod joined us for a hike on the Brice Creek Trail.
| | Jeanette and Eddie at the starting trailhead The first part of the hike looked more like a photo club outing than a hike. We stopped numerous times to catch the rays of sun in the morning mist, scenes of rock and water, and mushrooms of every description.

| | Jeanette and Jim on the trail We made Lund Park Campground our lunch stop and turn around point, giving us a five-mile hike for the day. I was able to add three new mushrooms to my database: Golden Coral, Earth Tongue, and Fluted White Elfin Saddle. | | | | | | |
