Angora Hiking Club holds two trail excursions in July The Daily Astorian Two Angora hikes are planned for July. On July 8, the Angora Hiking Club will hike Gnat Creek Fish Hatch- ery. This is one of hike leader Arline LaMear’s favorite hikes. It starts at the hatchery and goes down to the campground and back. Back at the hatch- ery, hikers take the trail that leads uphill through grassy areas and woods, then turn toward Gnat Creek and follow it back down to the hatchery. Bring a sack lunch, which you can leave in the car until after the hike at the picnic shelter built by Wauna Mill. On July 22, LaMear will again lead the hike, this time on the Four County Point Trail. This short hike (1.6 miles roundtrip) along Wolf Creek through a Douglas fir and alder forest leads to the only place in Oregon where the corners of four coun- ties (Washington, Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia) meet. Following the hike, the group will drive to the Sun- set Wayside Rest Area. Here there’s a loop trail (1.5 miles) that crosses South Fork Rock Creek on a 100-foot bridge and through an alder forest. For both hikes, meet at 9 a.m. at the Sixth Street park- ing lot to carpool. Sue Glen represents local DAR at Continental Congress in D.C.

The first course runs from July 23 to Aug. 31, and teaches per- ceptual development, the physics of driving and zone control. These advanced skills are built upon the basics like managing turns and other maneuvers, under- standing traffic laws in real life and being prepared for emergencies. Instructor Pamela Crom- well is certified by the Department of Motor Vehi- cles and approved by the Oregon Department of Trans- portation (ODOT) to teach the teen driver course. Stu- dents get at least 30 hours of classroom instruction and 12 hours behind the wheel. With this approved course, the DMV requires parents to provide only 50 hours of supervised driving practice, instead of 100, and students can skip the drive part of the DMV test. Freedom Driver Educa- tion offers the ODOT-ap- proved course for $290. There is a discount for low-income families. Parents interested in getting a teen driver into the summer course, or an upcom- ing course in the fall, should go to www.free2drive.co or call 503-744-7555.
