Each year the Northwest Chapter sponsors several Trailmarking expeditions. Vic Bolon is the current head of this project and he works tirelessly searching for trail traces and property owners. In 1998 he wrote 90 leters to property owners and received a majority of favorable replies. Thus we were able to mark the trail from Hilgard State Park to Meacham. The background work done by Vic is extremely important because it makies OCTA a responsible organization. While we want to mark and preserve the trails, we want to do it in a manner which engenders hospitality rather than hostility from the property owners. In 1999 we marked the section from Pendleton  to Cecil. Click on the 2000 hanging sign for the current schedule or 1999 or 1998 for past trailmarking expeditions. I keep three years online but 1997 is still available by special request.
