the Historic
Glade
Trail

Wearr some vintage ski clothing, if
possible. This is a celebration and a
re-enactment of how people used to ski
on Mt. Hood before there were any
lifts.
This will be the 22nd annual Glade
Trail Day. This is the only day in the
whole year that the trail is groomed
and patrolled from Timberline to
Government Camp. Timberline
Lodge, an event sponsor, grooms the
Glade Trail prior to the event to
ensure there's great terrain for all
participants.
Hosted by the Mt. Hood
Cultural Center & Museum,Ski
the Glade offers skiers and
snowboarders an opportunity to take
advantage of three and a half miles of
unbroken, mountain terrain. This
unique event combines participatory
living history and fund raising, for
the operation of the non-profit
museum. Guides and Ski Patrol services
will be available to keep everyone
safe.
This year, the annual tradition will
be held Saturday, March 2, 2024
beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at
around 4:00 p.m.
Tickets for the
all-day event will be $125. Only 75
tickets will be sold. To make your
reservation and purchase your ticket,
call the museum at: (503) 272-3301.
The ticket price includes breakfast
snacks, lunch, an apres-ski party,
door prizes and an unlimited number of
shuttle bus rides back up to
Timberline during the day. Last
shuttle up is at 3 pm.
After beginning the day at the museum
with a continental breakfast,
participants receive shuttle
transportation to Timberline, ski the
trail at their leisure, and meet the
bus at the end of the trail to return
to the top.
When ready for a break, attendees can
drop by the museum for a hot lunch
featuring homemade gourmet soups and
delicious accompaniments. All
shuttles stop at the Museum, so you
can take a break at any time.
Throughout the day, participants are
encouraged to wear vintage
ski clothing. At day's end,
an apres-ski party will include
beverages, snacks and prizes for those
dressed in the best vintage ski wear. |

About
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a
progressive neurodegenerative
disease that slowly robs a person of
the ability to walk, speak, swallow
and, eventually, breathe. With no
known cause or cure, a person can
expect to live typically 2 to 5
years from the time of diagnosis.
ALS has no racial, ethnic or
socioeconomic boundaries –– and in
only 10 percent of cases there is a
family history of ALS. Today, there
are approximately 30,000 people in
the US living with ALS and 5,600
people in the US are diagnosed every
year. At any given time, there are
an estimated 500 families living
with ALS in Oregon and Southwest
Washington.
About
The ALS Association Oregon and SW
Washington Chapter
Since its inception in 2002, our
local chapter of The ALS Association
is the central source for services
and education for people with ALS,
their families, caregivers, and
health care professionals in all of
Oregon and the six counties of SW
Washington.

Mt.
Hood lost a valuable snow safety
advocate when Laura Green passed
away
in a windsurfing accident in the
Columbia
River Gorge in December 2018.
Laura's
passion was the outdoors. She was a
consummate kayaker, windsurfer,
kiter,
and backcountry skier. She was an
expert
in avalanche safety, snow science,
and a
weather and avalanche forecaster.
Laura
was a 20-year member of the Mt. Hood
Meadows ski patrol.
Laura’s husband John has created a
website, Live Like Laura, to keep her
memory alive. What does it mean to
live like Laura? Be active, be
healthy, care for the environment,
care for animals, care for each other,
care for yourself. |

June
13 - 16. 2024
Reserve your spot for the most epic
race camp at Mt Hood. The Mahres
celebrated their 40th Anniversary
Olympic Triumph at Sarajevo in 1984 at
White Pass, and the celebration will
continue this summer at Mt Hood!
You can train 4 days of
GS and prep for this year's Summer Fun
Nationals which will be held the
following weekend. Phil & Steve
will improve not just your racing, but
your freeskiing too, with daily video
and 1x1 instruction.
Our annual Hammerschlagen
Tournament of Champions will be held
Saturday night at a special venue in
Government Camp - The RED VINE CABIN
will be our home with slow smoked
ribs, potato salad and other ADL
favorites.
The fun won't end there -
we will have special guest coach Chris
Hilliar from Sidecut.com to help the
Mahres on the hill and will bring his
over 20 years of World Cup and Olympic
coaching experience to the camp. He
will also give a comprehensive tuning
clinic on Friday night!
The Mahre Camp is so much
more than just racing gates... you
will experience quality time with the
Mahres on and off the hill and your
understanding of skiing will expand
beyond your expectations.

Mt. High
bike ride
Best
of Columbia River Gorge
Elowah
Falls Parking to Viento Park
June
15 (Saturday)
- Meet at 9 am. Leave at 9:30
am sharp.
Meet
at the Ellowa Falls parking lot on
Frontage Rd., very near I-84.
Take
exit 35 off of I-84, and then
continue on Frontage Rd.
This
little
known bike and eBike trail winds
thru the best part of the Columbia
Gorge where the cliffs are the
highest, the vegetation smothers the
sides of the trail, and the
occasional Bald Eagle or Osprey
flies by.
Total
distance = 20 miles.
There
is just one long uphill in the
middle of the ride has an elevation
gain of 561 feet (170 meters).
But
also, there are several other short
uphills and downhills , and the
total uphill elevation gain (when
you add them all up) is 1,795 feet.
This elevation gain can be hard on
your muscles and on your lungs.
If you are in good physical shape, you
can probably handle it. Also, if you
have an electric assist bike, that
will help to "smooth out" the hills.
We
will carpool the 20 miles between
start and finish. We just need to
take 2 or 3 cars to Viento State
Park at the start of the day.
Then at the end of the day, those
cars will be used to transport the
drivers of the other cars bnack to
Ellowah Falls parking lot to feth
their cars. All the cars will
then come back to Viento to pick up
all our bicycles.
Views of the Bonneville Dam and it’s
inner working from way above. Bike
on parts of the Old Columbia River
Hwy.
Scoot thru downtown Cascade
Locks on a bike trail and make
potential stops for IPA at Thunder
Island Brewery and/or ice cream cone
at the local soda fountain.
Bring a lunch or partake in
Thunder Island’s menu of vast
choices after the ride.
All types of bikes and riders
welcome.
No spitting from bike allowed.
Pace will be determined by Classic
bikes.
Race aheads will be allowed.
We will shuttle our cars

Highway
Cleanup
June
22, 2024
(Saturday) Starting at 10am.
Our
club has adopted a 2-mile section
of Highway 26, mileposts 51-53,
just west of Government
Camp. We have been keeping
it clean since 2010.
We'll meet in Mt. Hood
Skibowl's parking lot at
10 am sharp. We'll do some good work
for about 2 hours.
At
12:00 (noon) -
approximately -- the club will
cover the cost of lunch
either at the Brew Pub or at The
Taco Shoppe in Government Camp.
Let's replenish our energy and
enjoy each other's
company.
Those
who plan to help, need to go
on-line with the State Highway
Department, and just review the
"rules of the road" so to speak.
We used to have to watch a video,
but that is no longer required.
Now, you just need to read through
the rules and instructions, and we
can deal with the rest ourselves.
Just go to: http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/oars_700/oar_734/734_029.html
and
scroll down to the "Specific
Requirements". The
"Applicant" is our club, and the
Participants are all who show up
on the day of the event.
Debbi
will have the waivers we all need
to sign on the day of the
event. NOTE: We only need 8
people for this cleanup.

Barlow Pass - the start of our ride.
Just one of many markers along the
way.
Hwy. 26 plowed its way right across
the original wagon trail.
We'll be riding along mostly paved
roads, but also some smooth forest
trails.
Please
RSVP to Emilio Trampuz
at: Emilio2000@earthlink.net
or 503-510-1477.
NOTE
ABOUT
HIGHWAY
CROSSING
On
some past similar tours, we crossed
highway 26 several times. Some
people didn't like it. We
listened.
So,
on this tour, we will cross
highway 26 only once, at the end
of the tour, in Zig Zag, and it
will be at a marked pedestrian
crossing with a red light for
cars.

History
Tour along Barlow Road
The
original wagon trail
June
29, 2024. (Saturday)
- Meet at 8:30 am. Leave at 9
am.
Long
running
flagship ride hosted by Emilio
Trampuz along the path the settlers
took to cross the Cascades in search
of a new life. Ride the route that
the settlers used to make it across
this rugged mountain range.
Historical stopping points and views
all along the way.
Last couple of years, there were 15
- 20 riders on this ride.
Each
year, this tour is a bit
different as we
discover new trails. This
year, we will follow Lucy's
trail for a little
while. Just for something new
and to avoid biking along a
section of highway 26.
We
will cross highway 26 only
once, and that will
be at a marked pedestrian
crossing in Zig Zag that
includes a red light for all
cars.
Where
exactly is the Oregon Trail
(Barlow Road) around Mt. Hood?
Would you be able to
show family or friends which way the
wagons went? Come on this free
guided bicycle tour and find out.
Barlow
Road was the only way to get around
the south side of Mt. Hood for 71
years, until the old Mt. Hood Loop
highway was built in the
1920s. Both roads are now abandoned
(except for a few short segments).
When
Timberline Lodge was built in the
late 1930s, all the building
materials and tools were brought up
along the old Mt. Hood Loop highway,
which we will also ride on. This is
all part of Oregon’s history, but it
is being neglected.
Find
out where these roads are, hear some
of the pioneers’ stories, and maybe
consider adopting a section,
clearing it of fallen trees and
branches every year. This was
usually the job of the first wagon
train of the season.
Also,
hear a few short stories and
excerpts from the pioneers' diaries.
A
few points of interest along the
way:
1.
Barlow Pass
2.
The best views of Mt. Hood (seen
from the old highway)
3.
Pioneer Woman's Grave
4.
Pioneer Cemetery and the ghost of
Perry Vickers.
5.
Wagon tracks, still barely
discernible in a couple of places.
6.
The only bat cave on Mt. Hood
7.
Several wagon trail markers along
the way.
Meet
a few minutes before 9:00 am in
the Chicali Cantina Parking lot in
Welches, on the south side of
Hwy. 26. This is part of the set of
buildings housing several businesses
near the gas station in
Welches. Turn right at the
traffic light in Welches, and then
drive behind those building and you
will see another large parking lot
there. Go deep into it.
We
will need some carpooling
from there to transport everyone and
all our bicycles up to Barlow
Pass. We will arrange this on
the spot. Most people will continue
driving in their own cars.
We
will leave only 2 or 3 cars in
Welches. At the end of the bike
ride, we’ll have refreshments and/or
lunch at the Chicali Cantina
in Welches, and then we’ll use the 2
or 3 cars to take us back to fetch
our cars at Barlow Pass.
In
case the Cantina cannot accommodate
us (as has happened once before), we
will then first fetch our bikes and
will then go to Gorilla Growlers in
Sandy.
We’ll
ride on a mix of surfaces,
mostly paved, but also some forest
trails, and about a mile
of gravel road. And later on,
another bit of gravel road. Most of
the 18 miles will be downhill, but
there will be 2 uphill sections.
Almost
any bike will do, including a
commuter bike, a mountain bike, or
an e-bike. As a general rule
of thumb, thicker tires would work
better.
Bring
some water and a snack - like
maybe some trial mix, or a small
sandwich, or some fruit or a power
bar. We will all need some
nourishment before lunch, especially
if you haven't had any breakfast in
the morning.

is also some axe throwing available,
if you want to try it. It's done in a
protective steel cage.
After a lunch break, we will proceed a
bit further to the top of the hill and
then ride to the park at the end of
Bluff Street in Oregon City, with a
great view of Willamette Falls.
Those with e-bikes can easily climb
that hill. Those without the
electric assist can take an elevator
up.
Also, on the way back to Sellwod, we
will stop at the Menehune
Murph's Shaved Ice in
Gladstone for some dessert.
We will return via the same route we
took to get to Oregon City. The
tour is about 3 hours.

miles round trip on paved bike trails
and roads. All tire sizes are OK.
There will be a few restroom stops
along the way.

- Meet at 9:30 am. Leave at 10
am. This is a loop ride, so
there's no need for shuttling.
Minto
Brown Island Park is huge at 1205
acres, much larger than New York

paved an unpaved trails. It has a
playground, a shelter for picnics
and events, walking, jogging and
bike trails, picnic areas, a dog
park, several fishing spots, and a
paddle boat area.
Some
trails follow the Willamette River,
others go by a duck pond. We just
might see a beaver too.
We
will also ride through Riverfront
Park, which contains a carousel, an
amphitheater for concerts, a giant
Earth globe and a paddle-boat
landing.
This
is an easy ride. Almost all flat.
Almost all paved trails. We might
optionally venture on a smooth
unpaved dirt trail. Any bike will
do.
This
is Emilio's playground. Come
see the river, the lake, the slew,
and more.
After
the ride, we'll rest and recuperate
and enjoy each other's company over
some food and drinks. Perhaps
a brunch.
Parking
is often full at the downtown
entrance to the park. So, we will
park on the West Salem side
of the WIllametter River, where
there is excellent and plentiful
parking in the shade of old growth
trees. This will also add a
bit more park trails and a
pedestrian bridge across the
Willamette River.
We
will park and gather at the
Wallace Marine Park in
West Salem.
DIRECTIONS:
- Follow I-5 South and take exit
260A onto Salem Parkway.
- Follow the Parkway as it changes
into Commercial St. NE.
- Approaching downtown, turn RIGHT
onto Marion St. bridge
- Stay in the RIGHT two lanes on
the bridge.
- After the end of the bridge,
turn RIGHT onto Wallace Rd. NW.
- You are now in West Salem.
- Turn RIGHT at the 5th
intersection onto Glen Creek Rd.
NW
- Follow Glen Creek Rd. into
Wallace Marine Park.
- In the park, at a Y
intersection, turn RIGHT.
- Look for parking under large
trees providing lots of shade.

join us for a bit of socializing and
summer fun.
Park on Index Street, at the
last (easternmost) of about 3 or 4
parking lots next to Index Street.
TIME: 9:30 am -
bike ride (Meet at parking lot on
Index street)
11:30
am - picnic.
12 pm (noon) - food served.
Note:
If you arrive at 1 pm or later, most
of the food will be gone!
DIRECTIONS
- The park is at the intersection
of 32nd Ave and Index St.
- Take a right at the traffic
circle onto S. 32nd.
- Follow that to the "T"
intersection. and turn left on
Index St,
- Follow Index St. to the
left, to the furthest parking lot
of about 3 or 4 parking
lots.
- The path to the picnic area
starts from the top of the parking
lot, from a dike, and the shelter
will be the one on your right. It
is called the "Clark
Shelter".
Note that there is a considerable
walking distance from the parking lot,
and it goes over a dike, so there is
some uphill and downhhill. If you are
bringing something large or heavy to
share at the picnic, it might help if
you had a cart or something on wheels
to make it easier to transport the
food to the picnic area.
BIKE RIDE
We will ride along the dike
paralleling the Columbia
River. Except for jsut getting
onto the dike, it is all flat.
We'll
work up an appetite and be ready for
the picnic.

some food, leave the food in the
car during the bike ride and you
can pick it up at the end of the
bike ride to bring it to our
shelter..

sausages of various kinds (spicy and
non-spicy) on the grill. Bring
something else to share. Also BYOB.

High bike ride
Timberline
- Trillium Lake - Rhododendron
Timberline
to Rhododendron
August 18, 2024 (Sunday)
- Meet at 8:30 am. Leave at 9 am
sharp.
Experience
a
Mt High favorite by zooming down the
West Leg Road from Timberline around
Trillium Lake and downhill 14 miles
on a little known road behind
Multorpor and Ski Bowl, ending in
Rhododendron.
Meet
in Rhododendron, the last town
before Government Camp. Meet on the
LEFT side of the highway at
Rododendron Dairy Queen parking
lot. From there, we will shuttle
cars to Timberline.
https://goo.gl/maps/G6AefFVWtFQ3aGWc7
Most
of us will continue driving our own
cars and bikes to Timberline, but
we'll need to leave a few cars in
Rhododendron.
This
ride will be mostly downhill, except
for about a mile immediately after
Trillium Lake. A mountain bike
is recommended because there will be
long stretches of gravel
road. A commuter
bike with regular tires is OK
too. Just don't bring a racing
road bike with those super-thin
tires.
Here's
the plan:
1.
Timberline to Govy. We'll
follow the paved West Leg Road to
Government Camp. NOTE: The
Timberline-to-Town mountain bike
trail is a possible alternative but
it is too rocky, bumpy, and
dangerous. There has been too much
erosion over the years. Some of our
members had gotten injured in
previous years. So,we will skip it
this time.
2.
Govy to Trillium Lake. We
might split into two groups here
too:
a) One group following the
Barlow Road wagon trail (rocky).
b) The other group following a
paved road and then some gravel
3.
Still Creek Road from Trillium Lake
to Rhododendron.
About a mile of uphill on a gravel
road from Trillium Lake.
Then several miles of easy coasting
downhill on Still Creek Road
At
the end of the ride, someone will
stay in Rhododendron guarding all
our bikes while those who left their
cars in Rhododendron will help
transport the drivers of the other
cars back up to Timberline, to fetch
the rest of our cars there.
Bring
some water or other refreshing
beverage.
Bring
some extra clothing and gloves in
case it's a cold day. Still Creek
Road will be mostly in the shade.
Finally,
we'll end the day's adventure with a
visit to Chicali Cantina
in Welches. They offer
"seriously good food and epic
margaritas". In case the
Cantina cannot accommodate us (as
has happened once before), we
willthen go to Gorilla
Growlers in Sandy.
This
ride organized by John Davis. Let us
know if you are coming.

than those found on the Esplanade
bike path circa John's Landing.
The
pace of this ride will be
determined by the beginners and
the non-electric riders.
Wide tire eBikes are welcome on
this ride. The route will not have
any extreme MTB riding.

need to sign up. Right now there are
13 or 14 signed up already.
The
target is 18 people. If less than
15, we might have to cancel the
reservation on one court which will
make it not much fun for the
experienced players. If there
are 20, we might consider reserving
a 4th court.
Everyone
will need to create a profile
and sign a waiver at Jumbo's.
Jumbo's website can be difficult to
navigate. Kurt will try and have
good instructions to send out to
everyone. The profile can be done at
Jumbo's too. It's a fairly quick
process. Everyone will need to sign
a Jumbo's waiver.
Right
now we have one instructor
lined up and a possibility of a 2nd
instructor to help teach the new
players.
We
can bring snacks in but they
can't be homemade; store bought
only. The snacks will be in the
lounge area. No outside drinks,
water is okay, drinks must be
purchased at Jumbo's. However, you
can bring in water or your own
Gatorade without causing an issue as
long as you kept it with you
gear.
Shoes
must be court shoes and non-marking.
Black soles are a no-no. Jumbo's
does have a small selection of men's
and women's shoes that can be loaned
out. I think they are free but there
could be a rental charge for
them.
Paddles:
We will have a couple of extra
paddles, but it won't be enough so
paddles will need to be rented at $6
for two which includes a ball. We
will try and round up more paddles
so that no one will need to rent
one.
Balls:
Kurt will provide those. He has
lots.
To
sign up
Send
a check for $20, made
payable to Kurt Wilke,
and mail it to Kurt
Wilke, PO Box 675,
Cornelius, OR 97113.
Or contact Kurt for
alternate ways of paying
(Venmo, etc.).
Post
play gathering: There is a Margarita
Factory not far from Jumbo's
where we can gather and socialize
afterwards. Happy Hour goes until
6pm there.
