People often ask me, "So what's your favorite campground?" I'm pretty easy to please, but not so easy that I'd consider joining the weekend campers who set up tents behind the Kmart in Bellingham. Their purpose is shopping, not camping. And as much as I like the forests in Washington State, I'm partial to bodies of water and horizons. For me, that means eastern Washington lakes and rivers and western Washington beaches. |
Osprey Aether 70
Although there are many factors to consider when choosing a backpack—durability, weight, proportion to body size, trip length, etc.—the key is the same with a pack as it is with boots—it’s all about the proper fit. Which is one reason Osprey packs are a perennial favorite. Osprey dealers offer expert fit assistance, and they can heat-mold your hipbelt into the form-fitting shape that’s just right for you.

Pacific Coast Trail—part I
Pepper and I are gearing up again! We are getting excited to get back outside after a weather roller-coaster winter. It started off great but the ups and downs started in January. There were always signs and anticipation for more snow, but not much panned out. We are mixing it up a little on our latest trip and will put our hip flexors to the test…and hopefully get some good turns to accompany all of the elevation gain.
