 of Yachats) or find camping site at one of 3 suggested state parks

SATURDAY, AUGUST 25 



8:00 Assemble at The Adobe; use same travel arrangements as on Friday, unless 



otherwise agreed upon. 



8:15 Leave The Adobe, oroceed south through Yachats to Cape Perpetua State Park. 



We vdll go first up the high road to the lookout point, then down and 

 into main part of park. Drive to parking circle at end of the road, 

 10:15 Leave Cape Perpetua Park, drive south on Highway 101 ca. 19 miles to the 



Mercer Lake tumoff, 5 miles north of Florence. Turn left (east) 

 and go for ca. l/4 mile; park in single line on shoulder of road. We 

 will walk down to a Darlingtonia bog, through a forest of pines, cedars, 

 and hemlocks. 



12-00 Leave the bog and drive south to Florence. Lunch can be purchased at various 



restaurants there. We will use Goddard's Restaurant, 2 miles south of 

 Florence, as a rallying point. 

 1:00 Meet at Goddard's Restaurant to proceed south from Florence 8 miles to Carter 



Lake Forest Camp. This is an area of active dunes, encroaching on a 



coastal forest. . . * 



2-30 Leave Carter Lake and return north to Florence on Highway 101. The shortest 



return to Corvallis is east via Highway 36 (shown on your mimeographed 

 map as U.S. 28). It is 90 miles from Florence to Corvallis, and a 

 good two hours' drive. Highway 36 Joins Highway 99W, north of Eugene, 

 and you can follow the latter highway north to Corvallis; or, if you 

 are alert, there is a connecting road north to Corvallis at Cheshire 

 (on Highway 36, 4 miles before the junction with 99W); Cheshiro is ca. 



63 miles from Florence. 



On Highway 36 there are some possible stopping points not on our 

 formal itinerary. From 1 to 3 miles past Swisshome, 24 to 27 miles from 

 Florence, there are some high, wet cliffs along the road that could be 

 searched for ferns. Farther on, just west of Triangle Lake, ca. 40 miles 

 from Florence, thei'e is a large paricing area that gives access to a 

 douglas fir forest. 



A car will lead the group back to the University, without making 

 these stops; but if any cars v;ish to stop, they should have no difficulty 

 finding their way "home" to Corvallis.
