e miss you all! We are thinking of you and look forward to us all being together again soon. Although we are currently closed, and do not have a definitive date to re-open we want you to know that we are still working hard to bring you programs, activities, and services that you rely on. Please stay connected. We have several ways for you to keep active and involved with Center 50+. We know that things look a lot different right now and this has lead us to try new things and reach out in different ways--but what remains true is our commitment to the older adults of this community. We believe in friendship and people living their best lives for the rest of their lives--filled with new experiences and opportunities to grow and learn--even while we shelter in place. Mostly, we know that life is better when we tackle every day with a purpose and a plan. Our Center has been filled with 1,000’s of seniors every week for over 40 years doing just that-LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST and fulfilling the role in the community as leaders, mentors, volunteers, and catalysts of change. I am so proud of how far we have come and even prouder of the direction we are going. Soon we will all be together again enjoying creative and cutting-edge programming. We know that this summer will be a transitional time but, we are gearing up for one of the best Fall kick-off’s we have ever seen! Consider joining small group classes, or exploring new virtual programming--these two elements will be critical in our transition plan. A special thank you to all the volunteers that have continued to work hard serving their fellow seniors during this time. We could not have delivered over 150 food/care boxes each week and made 1000’s of calls and connections to seniors sheltering in place without their help. Also, thank you to our monthly financial donors who have continued their support during this time. These generous donations made it possible for us to continue to serve our local seniors by providing

Our Facebook 5 Minute Fitness classes have been well received over the last 6 weeks. Our Fitness Instructors make a strong effort to focus on offering a variety of workouts to a variety of fitness levels.

The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at twenty. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both. But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John’s heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together. goodreads.com/book/show/50001299-where-the-lost-wander

Six Waterfall Hikes Near Salem BY KARA KUH
Editor’s Note: As the state takes actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, Travel Salem urges everyone to follow recommended safety guidelines and make informed travel decisions. We hope the articles and stories we produce help you plan for future travel and inspire you to explore the Salem region when it makes sense to do so.
W
aterfalls are one of nature’s most spectacular gems. Perhaps it’s because they look like a cascade of diamonds when the sun hits them just right, or maybe it’s the constant roar of the water that blocks out other noises and calms our minds. Some even say that waterfalls release negative ions that makes us feel happy when we’re close to one. Whatever the reason, people around the world are drawn to waterfalls. Oregon is blessed with an abundance of waterfalls and the mid-Willamette Valley boasts a number of great hikes which will take you right to them. Here are six great waterfall hikes, all located less than an hour’s drive from Salem. Abiqua Falls Abiqua Falls is one of Marion County’s gems. The stunning, 92-foot waterfall sits about 11 miles outside of Scotts Mills, Oregon. Although it is located on private property owned by Mount Angel Abbey, the land is open to the public for recreational use. The short, unmarked trail leads hikers to the base of the waterfall, which is surrounded by a spectacular basalt amphitheater. Hikers should proceed with caution, as the trail is very steep and can be slippery. Butte Creek Falls In the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Butte Creek Falls is a must-see, particularly for fall foliage lovers. The trailhead is located less
than four miles from Abiqua Falls. The 1-mile trail weaves through Douglas fir and hemlock trees before reaching two stunning waterfalls. Upper Butte Creek Falls is a 20-foot waterfall that falls into a deep, cold pool. The 80-foot Lower Butte Creek Falls can be viewed at the end of the trail from a rocky promontory. Henline Falls
Just outside the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area you’ll find the trailhead to Henline Falls. The trail, less than 2 miles, takes hikers to the gorgeous 125foot waterfall and a crystal-clear plunge pool. To the right of the falls is the old Silver King Mine. Although it’s covered by a steel gate to prevent entry, standing outside it gives you a glimpse into the area’s mining past. Sawmill Falls Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area is popular for its pristine pools and misty old growth forests. Take the 6.25-mile round-trip adventure from the trailhead to the old mining town of Jawbone Flats and Opal Pool. Along the way, you’ll navigate through Douglas firs, across rustic log footbridges and past remnants of the former town. About two miles in, you’ll pass Cascada de los Niños. Also known as Sawmill Falls, the 30-foot waterfall marks the end of the native winter steelhead run. The road to the trail can get snowed in during the winter months, but the trail is open year-round as long as the road is clear. The trail is heavily trafficked on summer weekends, so we recommend an early morning, mid-week hike here. Shellburg Falls and Stasel Falls Shellburg Falls, a 100-foot waterfall, is best viewed during the rainy season, as Shellburg Creek relies solely on rainfall to sustain its flow. Tucked away in the Santiam State Forest, the waterfall is not far from the famous Silver Falls
State Park. The 3-mile, round-trip trek will take you past cow pastures and hemlock trees. The trail will pass a smaller, 40-foot waterfall before winding down and behind Shellburg Falls. Also located nearby is the lesserknown, 125-foot Stasel Falls. This harder-to-find waterfall pours into a 200-foot deep gorge just up the road. Walk-in access is available year-round to the Shellburg Falls Recreation Area, but vehicles are restricted from November to May. Silver Falls State Park
Silver Falls State Park is known as the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Park system. It is Oregon’s largest state park and home to the world-renowned Trail of Ten Falls – a 7-mile looped trail that takes you above, around and behind 10 breathtaking waterfalls. The hike includes 800 feet of elevation gain on paved and unpaved trails. The park also offers more than 35 miles of backcountry trails for mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding. Know before you go: • Always check the weather and road conditions before heading out. • Parking at some of the trailheads can get crowded; carpooling is recommended. You may need a U.S. Forest Service parking permit at some trailheads. • Cell phone and internet service is limited in some areas, so bring along a printed map. • Dress appropriately for the weather and terrain and bring plenty of water. • Leave No Trace principles are encouraged: leave what you find, dispose of waste properly and respect the wildlife.

Here are a few Creswell and Cottage Grove seasonal highlights you’ll want to put on your list of things to do: Eat at Creswell Bakery. All road trips in this direction must include a stop at Creswell Bakery, a local hotspot for lunch or breakfast. Expect awesome morning treats, sandwiches and meat pies baked with farm-to-table devotion. Order online and pick up at the counter for the perfect picnic meal. Tour covered bridges by car. Cottage Grove is home to six historic covered bridges, including the only remaining
covered railroad bridge west of the Mississippi. The tour route is a 30-mile loop and you can even drive through two of the bridges. The loop takes you around Dorena Lake, full of beautiful views and plenty of room to get some fresh air and stop for a picnic! Golf at Emerald Valley Golf and Resort. Swing your club where the University of Oregon golf teams practice. Emerald Valley’s beautiful 18hole course is a great place to spread out and play. Stay on target at Creswell Clay Target Sports. Spend a day trying out clay target games at the region’s premier shotgun club. Oneday memberships are available and the range is observing social distancing recommendations. Drink local wine. Saginaw Vineyards is known for both fun berry wines as well as the traditional cold-climate varietals
one expects from the Willamette Valley. Swing by on your way home to grab pizza and soup for dinner and restock your home wine selection. Take a movie buffs tour. Cottage Grove’s charming look first caught Hollywood’s attention in 1926 when Buster Keaton filmed “The General” here. Today, pay tribute to movie classics like “Animal House” and “Stand By Me” with visits to filming locations around town. Cycle the Row River Trail. Part of the Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway, this bike path encircles Dorena Reservoir and passes several of Cottage Grove’s historic covered bridges. It’s a great alternative to touring them by car for those who want the opportunity to stretch their legs in nice weather. Hike the waterfalls. Drive up into the hills for a trio of beautiful waterfalls. Moon, Pinard, and Spirit Falls are clustered together just outside Cottage Grove in the Umpqua National Forest.
Creswell Bakery
The Moon Falls hike is rated easy while the Pinard and Spirit Falls hikes are rated difficult, so do your research to pick the best hike for your group.
Where to Stay
Eugene, Springfield, Creswell
and Cottage Grove all make good base camps for exploring these quaint small towns. While some local hotels are closed, others are working hard to provide amazing and safe experiences for guests looking for a getaway that doesn’t take them too far from home.

HISTORY
Mount Hood: Oregon’s Mild-Mannered Active Volcano Tall and serene, but it still has some kick left in it.
BY F INN J. D. J O HN
C
limbing Mount Hood is a big achievement. It’s no Everest, but at 11,244 feet, Oregon’s highest is hardly insignificant. But modern climbers have one major advantage over climbers a century ago: they know with nearly perfect certainty that it won’t explode while they’re standing on it. The last major eruption of Mount Hood happened before Lewis and Clark came to the West Coast, but not by much. Around the time the U.S. Constitution was being ratified, the mountain cut loose, sending smoke and fire into the sky, dropping a six-inch layer of ash all around the mountain and unleashing a torrent of pyroclastic material, rocks, dirt and water. This material roared down the Sandy River valley to the Columbia and was the source of the deep “quicksand” after which the river was named. This episode kicked off a spate of fiery activity on top of Oregon’s tallest mountain that lasted a good 75 years. Oregon newspapers reported excitement on the mountain in 1853, 1854, 1859 and 1865. The 1859 eruption is particularly interesting. According to settler W.F. Courtney, quoted by author Bill Gulick, “It was about 1:30 in the morning when suddenly the heavens lit up and from the dark there shot up a column of fire. … For two hours as we watched the mountain continued to blaze at irregular intervals. …” Against the backdrop of this violent history, the officers of the Oregon Alpine Club met in 1984 to organize a new club – the Mazamas – which would only be open to people who had summited Mount Hood. Later that year, 105 intrepid climbers reached the summit, assembled there, and were inducted as charter members. Unlike Mazamas today, these members hadn’t just climbed a mountain, but a volcano that had been belching fire into the sky less than 35 year before. Today, thousands of happy visitors 12

In the past several dozen years, there have been a number of small “earthquake swarms” at the mountain, reminding everyone that it’s still alive and smoldering. Although modern volcanic activity on Mount Hood will likely be mild compared with the Mount St. Helens eruption, it’s one of the more likely candidates for America’s next volcanic breakout. set out to climb Mount Hood. It’s the second most climbed mountain in the world, after Japan’s Mount Fuji. It’s not the most technically difficult, but it can be treacherous. Over the years, roughly 140 climbers have been killed on the mountain. Of them, only one was killed by volcanic activity, although of not the kind one usually thinks. In 1934, a fumarole — a crack in the ground venting hot volcanic gases — melted holes and caves in one of the glaciers on the mountain. A climber, coming across these caves, decided to explore them, was overcome by fumes and suffocated inside. This climber remains the only person in state history to have been killed by a volcano in Oregon. In the past several dozen years, there
