We did the walk 7 days this week. 

Next Thursday, Sept 6, Lillian (the dog) and I will be leading
the first Pittock Fall Migration walk of the season.  Meet at
7AM at the Pittock Mansion parking lot.  The walk will last about
2 hours, but you're free to leave whenever you need to.  Walk is
free and no registration required.
