Willamette Mission Hike

We arrived at Willamette Mission State Park October 5, 2024 in fog, which quickly lifted to reveal a gorgeous day! Leaves are starting to turn color, which was a treat. We had a leisurely hike, enjoying our great conversations (as I always find with Chemeketans)! We spent a few minutes overlooking the "ghost structure" of the buildings once on the site of Jason Lee's mission, established in 1834. Darn, the leader took a turn off the main path and we missed the giant cottonwood tree ... another time! Hikers were members Marcia Hoak, Margaret Saxe, Peggy Morris and leader Debra Dawes.
