I have created this channel to share my hiking and backpacking adventures. Part of this channel is dedicated to my backyard, featuring hiking routes and hiking trails in areas such as the Tillamook State Forest, Clatsop State Forest, private timberland open to public access, Bureau of Land Management lands, and United States Forest Service lands. Other than established trail systems which feature the ocean beaches or hit a few high points and views and skirt the edges near the highways, there aren’t a lot of established hikes. I often go off-trail to create my own.
This channel documents my broader wanderings to diverse places such as the Three Sisters Wilderness and Mount Hood Wilderness, among others. It could even feature gear reviews and photography tips.
-About-
My background includes teaching, wildland firefighting, and hiking in this area. I hope to bring the perspective of an older hiker to this channel.
