March 14: Hike Changed Due to Weather
Instead of hiking at Applegate Lake we will do one of the local hikes in the vicinity of Ashland: Bear Creek Greenway to Talent with return by bus; White Rabbit - Bandersnatch loop; Ashland city streets ramble, but without a stop for hot chocolate at the Maksymowicz residence.  We can decide which one when we meet in the former Haggen's parking lot in the morning.  If the weather forecast has changed, we might even opt to do the scheduled hike at Applegate Lake.
No matter what, do bring your rain gear.
