Despite a last minute weather related switch, seven hikers did show up for Monday's hike. We chose a brisk walk on a six mile stretch of the Bear Creek Greenway from Blue Heron Park in Phoenix to Hawthrone Park in Medford.

Along the way we experienced a ten minute dusting of corn snow while at the bird area just before the US Cellular Fields. Light rain accompanied us into Medford where we stopped for lunch at the Bricktown Brewing Company on North Central.

After lunch we walked over to the bus station where the driver for the #10 was just coming off his break. A one dollar fare took us all back to our starting place in Phoenix.

It was a good walk.

Our original plan for snowshoeing on Mt Ashland had to be cancelled as the weather up there turned nasty with blowing snow from gusts up to 30 mph and a wind chill down to minus one degree.
