Arrived 2pm Friday. Parked at the entrance and hiked roads and trails down to the cave. Spent night #1 in a shelter above the cave, night #2 under a spinntarp next to the Half Breed Cemetary. No wind, light sprinkles Sat night, 100% humidity with that lovely cold fog covering the loess hills. Great solo hike. Nobody else around.

Plenty of bushwhacking down the hill to (and back up from) Little Luckiamute Falls, followed by exploration of the first several miles of the old trail (much of it is overgrown).

February 12, 2011 Shane Wahkeena 4.5 miles 750 feet gained

Was misinformed by my compatriots that Wahclella Falls was around 8 miles. So by the time we got back to the car, we decided to at least salvage a modest climb to the top of Multnomah Falls. Nice day.

February 12, 2011 Greg Table Mountain 4.5 miles 2,000 feet gained

Started from "Camp David". Not too difficult until near the landslide. Grueling bushwhack up the hill to Greenleaf Falls.

Just about the only hike I can fit in after work/before dark this time of year.

February 10 to February 11, 2011 Kyle Meyer West Benson Way 10 miles 3,750 feet gained 1 night

Based on <a href="http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=7020" class="postlink">Pablo's Benson snow-free report from February 6th</a>, I planned a quick overnight up to the Benson Plateau via Ruckel Creek trail. It hadn't rained in Cascade Locks since then, but that doesn't mean it hadn't up high! There's between 4 and 6&quot; on Benson ...

February 9, 2011 Phoebe "BertMoss" Cape Creek 3 miles 0 feet gained

side trip to Cape Mears for Cape Lookout, and we got nice weather!

February 7, 2011 Jim aka Crusak Origin Creek 5 miles 1,000 feet gained

My buddy had about 1/8 tank of gas... so we went hiking somewhere close to town. Gales Creek. Awful muddy, wet conditions. I even slipped and fell down in a full-body face plant slide. Good times.

February 7, 2011 Jen Catherine Creek Loop 5 miles 750 feet gained

Jane and I rambled around the meadows between Major Creek and Catherine Creek. Grass widows were just starting to pop up.

February 6, 2011 victor Lindsey Pond 1 miles 0 feet gained

Took the Dog Mt. trail and most difficult fork. It was cold and wet the higher I went. Almost turned around a couple of times, but kept pushing myself. I was happy when I reached the top. I hung out for a minute or so. Took a picture of nothing and then turned back. Took the the Augspurger Trail back to the car. Not too many people on the trail. Even though ...
