@npub1cqh…4rf7 I was wondering if that was you. Cool hike. I just saw it on the map and it seemed more interesting than the PCT.

A black bear just passed my tent! I scared it off and escorted a woman past the area so she could make it to her car.

I did it! I summited Eagle Cap with the help of Isaac, who I met down in the lake basin.

Going to hike some sections of the Corvallis to Coast (C2C) trail. Never hiked near there or in the Siuslaw National Forest before. Not sure how scenic it’ll be but I’ll try to take a couple side quests to the peaks.

Well… My wife made cookies and I’m heading out to go camping tomorrow. Guess these are coming with me! 🤤

Rogers Peak Camping: Day 1
I feel rejuvenated after feeling slightly depressed that backpacking season is over (for me). I’m a fair weather backpacker. Sleeping in the Pilot was a lot warmer than in a tent. Didn’t sleep great but still getting used to it. I explored a new road and enjoyed the sun and blue sky. Legitimately warm outside, so nice. After hiking, I got brave and drove up into the mountains to a new area.

Rogers Peak Camping: Start
I’m testing out camping in my SUV this weekend in the Tillamook State Forest. Sleeping in the back with the seats folded flat. Don’t have much other than my regular backpacking gear. Plus some jugs of water, jump starter, and extra clothes in case I get soaked. Plan is to explore deeper into the forest than I’ve been able to do day hiking.

Alright. I’m leaning towards bailing. I sincerely thank you all for your advice! I will admit if it weren’t for so many people (I think of you all as friends) telling me to bail I would be less likely. I’m getting emotional writing this. Haven’t responded to everything since i’m trying to rest. My coordinates are 44°8′43″ N 121°49′20″ W and I would be going back to the Lava Camp (Matthieu Lakes) trailhead off HWY 242. The PCT is the trail. I’m eating and drinking to feel as good as possible.

@npub1ge2…g93q Thank you! I’m drinking it slowly. Unfortunately I only have about a liter until I can get to a water source. I currently have to pee so not completely dehydrated. Closest water is 2 miles or 4 round trip.

2023-10-06 15:42:37

Oh wow am I struggling this morning. My stomach has hurt real bad for 6 hours. I’m in the three sisters wilderness. I took some acid reducer and other stomach medicine. It’s hard to drink water but i’m forcing myself since i’m mildly dehydrated. No way I could eat. I think climbing south sister is out, not sure if I can complete the loop at this point. Probably going to make camp in 4 miles and try to sleep it off. I have limited resources on me but would appreciate any suggestions.

Enchantments Backpacking: Day 2
I’ve decided I’m not afraid of heights, just exposure to falling. A couple times I was terrified traversing rocky ledges. So much easier in the dark. That said, I really enjoyed the Enchantments. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Autumn has definitely arrived. It snowed on the peaks Saturday evening. Want to go back in warmer weather.

Enchantments Backpacking: Day 1
Big if, but if this trip marks the end of backpacking season, I’m satisfied. After setting up my tent at Upper Snow Lake, I couldn’t resist the steep climb up to Lake Viviane to get a glimpse of the Core Enchantments. Incredible! I had psyched myself up for this trip but it’s much better. Spending tomorrow in the core. So excited!

Mount Jefferson Backpacking: Wrap
Here are some more photos. Woke up Sunday morning to the smell of smoke, which is concerning when you don’t have internet and don’t know if it is from far away or a new fire nearby. I really enjoyed my adventure exploring off-trail, I can’t wait to do some more. May be able to do that in the Enchantments this coming weekend, if rain and smoke hold off a bit more. 🤞🏼

Mount Jefferson Backpacking: Day 2
Stayed off the mountain and explored Jefferson Park today. Visited Park and Rock Lakes, which I hadn’t been to. Also Scout, Russell, and Bays Lakes. This is a permit area. You pretty much can’t camp here or at any of the major lakes in Jefferson Wilderness and not have a ranger check your permit. They’re easy to get. This park full of alpine meadows. It’s so special.

Mount Jefferson Backpacking: Day 1
I made it up to 8,300 feet on Mountain Jefferson, which is the highest I’ve been standing on Earth. A little challenging but I had a great time and the views were beautiful. Camped near Shale Lake and explored the area. Very quiet here because most thru hikers are in Washington or California. Have only seen 3 people and they were all headed up Jefferson.

@npub1hdk…26hc That’s definitely ultralight! Lately, my inflatable has lost most of the air by morning so i’m basically sleeping on my Z-lite at this point. I guess that’s one way to get used to using a thinner pad.

@npub1cqh…4rf7 That’s fair! I used to watch CNN a lot but got jaded with how they treat their commentators as rational actors when they are clearly just lying.

@npub1zc6…ux0z I won’t use those flimsy UL tents either. I would rather have extra weight than condensation in my tent. I don’t bring a stove at all, just eat food that doesn’t need to be heated up, mainly because i’m too lazy. It’s certainly not healthy food but when you’re hiking 20 miles a day… 🤣

Lost Lake PCT Backpacking: Wrap
Sometimes I start a trip with low expectations, but the Pacific Northwest always delivers! I’m low key in love with this lake. There’s something special about a lake with a volcano towering over it. 🤣 I thought about renting a stand-up paddle board for an hour but I needed a nap instead. I want to try paddle boarding, and canoeing, sometime and this lake seems perfect.

@npub1zc6…ux0z Sorry yes, I sometimes clarify if I have room. Pacific Crest Trail. So everyone knows, it’s around 2,650 miles and goes from Mexico to Canada along the western United States through California, Oregon, and Washington State. I’m not ultralight but I use a reasonable setup that would work for thru hiking. I only brought one day of food other than the sandwich, chips, donut, and cookies I packed in for last night, so my pack is pretty light today. 😄

Lost Lake PCT Backpacking: Day 2
Here’s a preview of what we’ve got going on today. Finished my PCT section and it was about 8 miles. Nothing to report there. Lost Lake is gorgeous and would be a great family car camping spot. I’m currently up on Lost Lake Butte with an amazing view of Mount Hood. Going to go back down and find a free spot to stealth camp at the lake. There’s a spot up here but no water.

Lost Lake PCT Backpacking: Day 1
I’m filling in a little missing section of the Pacific Crest Trail between Lolo Pass and somewhere north of Lost Lake near Mount Hood this weekend. Will be exploring the area around the lake after completing the section Saturday morning. I saw my now good friend Prospector again, who’s hiking SOBO (south bound) on the PCT. Had met him weeks ago in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.

I’m keeping an eye on the weather and smoke situations at Wallowa Lake (Eagle Cap Wilderness) and Steven’s Pass (Glacier Peak Wilderness) for this weekend. They are both changing by the hour. These two locations are at the top of my list. It’s going to be another last-minute decision. 🙏🏼

@npub14c6…vk4f 🙁 I came very close to driving to Steven’s Pass Thursday but bailed at the last minute due to smoke. Met a couple section hiking on Mount Hood from Seattle.

@npub18z4…pkkh Thank you! I ended up hiking more than I planned. 🤣 I honestly didn’t know it was 13 miles around the lake when I decided to do it.

@npub1vad…mz4u It got super lucky. Completely dry but it poured in Portland.

@npub1ydc…k2uu Didn’t make it to frog lake but the twin lakes were great. Hiked around lower and then to upper but didn’t make time to go around it.

S. of Mt Hood PCT Backpacking: Day 3
I’m enjoying this section of the Pacific Crest Trail a lot more than I thought I would. All of the lakes I’ve seen are a backpacker’s paradise. Many of the people out here are not hiking the PCT. You can really see from these photos why they call them the Twin Lakes. My wrist and pinky injured last weekend are mostly healed. Being careful.

S. of Mt Hood PCT Backpacking: Day 2
Decided to take some side quests today and explore the lakes. Little Crater Lake was 🤯 and had crystal clear water that looked blue. Hiked around Timothy Lake. So many campgrounds and sites, including FS disbursed camping on the back side of the lake. The lake is much bigger than I expected. Ended with 25 miles.

S. of Mt Hood PCT Backpacking: Day 1
The smoke was looking to be bad at Steven’s Pass so I hopped on the PCT at Timberline instead after work on Thursday. Hiked 4 miles and set up camp. After the PCT departs the Timberline Trail, it enters a majestic forest heading towards Timothy Lake. Just before dusk the wind picked up and I received a possible thunderstorm warning. Luckily I packed my rain jacket.

@npub1yf8…ffmg Other than a class at uni a few years ago I haven’t built a PC since the early aughts. I can see it being calming. I kinda want to built one now but I barely use any of my Macs as it is.

Knife’s Edge Backpacking: Day 1
Very glad I decided to make the drive. I didn’t know what to expect but the views and trail are stunning. Lots of shade. I’m camped the first night a couple miles from Knife’s Edge and about 4 miles from Old Snowy Mountain. Should be on the ridge by sunrise so I can attempt to scramble up to the top of Old Snowy. Incredibly excited.

@npub14c6…vk4f It didn’t get smoky until I was leaving the knife’s edge area thankfully. What a change in a couple days.

2023-08-16 01:26:55

Just looking for somewhere without smoke to backpack this weekend and something called Knife’s Edge in the Goat Rocks Wilderness section of the PCT has caught my attention. Haven’t looked at pictures yet so don’t spoil it. 🤣

I don’t have the energy to post photos from today yet but these should give me the energy. Stopped by Voodoo Doughnut on the way home as a treat for smashing the trail.

Timberline Trail Backpacking: Day 2
Ramona Falls and the recently reopened Yocum Ridge section of the trail were highlights on day 2. This section is passable but there are still some serious parkour challenges to overcome. I ended up almost competing the trail and camping in Paradise Park. Awesome day. I even got to meet @npub127g…6xnr, who was on a day hike!

Timberline Trail Backpacking: Day 1
Hiking the Timberline Trail this weekend, which circumnavigates Mount Hood. Currently hiking CCW from Timberline Lodge to Elk Cove. Knocking out about half of the mileage today to relax the next two days. I slipped in Newton Creek and soaked my right foot. Having a great time though, so good to be back out in the wilderness!

@npub10k9…wvkd Thanks! That’s a very intriguing option. I know it’s not easy to get to the actual staircase but I’ve never hiked in this area. Any recommended trailheads?

@npub1yr3…nrs8 Oh yeah, I’ve been using it and its successor Tweetbot for over a decade. It might cost more than that other app, not sure, but it’s top tier.
