| Date: October 27, 2004 | | Location South Fork Mountain Hike | | Where: Mt Hood National Forest | Betsy Belshaw led this Midweek Chemeketan Hike to South Fork Mountain, which was a new experience for everyone in the group as no one had hiked there before. Driving to Estacada we traveled up the Clackamas River, and then the Memaloose Road to the Memaloose Lake Trailhead.

When we arrived at Memaloose Lake the sun was just starting to make its appearance.
