| Location Shellburg Falls Hike |
| Where: Santiam State Forest |
| Seven Chemeketans braved the rain and snow for a hike to Shellburg Falls lead by Anne Hernandez. Steve, Anne & Carlos' son, represented the Santiam State Forest to explain the Oregon Department of Forestry's recreational management plan. |
 |
| Steve giving the group some background on Shellburg Falls Recreation Area Several inches of fresh snow made the forest into a winter wonderland and was much preferred over plain rain and muddy trails. New trails and bridges are being constructed for a variety of recreation users, which in clued hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians.

| Steve explains a new bridge built by state prison workers 100-foot Shellburg Falls was in full flow and quite spectacular as we made our way along the trail around and underneath its magical veil.

 |
| Shellburg Falls Because Shellburg Falls is virtually unknown, its proximity to Salem made it an exciting find for these Chemeketans. |
