French Pete hike-in planned
A French Pete “hike-in” has been planned for next Monday by
Nature’s Conspiracy, a University student group, to demonstrate
support for protecting the Oregon Cascades valley from logging.
The “hike-in” is described by Fred Swanson of the University
Survival Center, co-sponsor of the event, as “the most effective action
we can take at this time” to preserve the wilderness qualities of
French Pete valley.
He points out that at the turn of the century there were 65 Oregon
Cascades valleys, each more than ten miles long, which had seen no
timber cutting. Today, only three, including French Pete, have been
unaffected by logging.
According to Swanson U c. Senator Mark Hatfield and U.S. Rep.
John Dellenback have been invited to participate, as have their op
ponents in the coming November election, former senator Wayne
Morse and former congressman Charles Porter.
Among conservationists planning to attend the “hike-in” are
Brock Evans, of Seattle, Northwest representative of the Sierra Club
and Steve McCarthy, Portland, executive director of the Oregon
Student Public Interest Research Group.
The public is invited to join the “hike-in” which begins at the
Lowder Mountain trailhead parking lot at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. Cars
will leave the South Eugene High School parking lot at 19th and Pat
terson at noon.
Those who wish to drive to the trailhead should take the McKenzie
Highway five miles past Blue River to the Cougar Reservoiir turnoff,
follow this road four miles to the dam, cross the dam and follow the
East Fork Road (1778) 11 miles to the parking lot.
The hike will follow an easy trail for about one mile, offering
excellent views of French Pete valley and surrounding cut-over
valleys. Hikers may return to Eugene by 5 p.m.
