Hello, I'm new to this forum. We just moved to Portland from Idaho 7 months ago. I would say my experience level is moderate. I've done weekend trips and have been backpacking off and on since college. I am not a fast hiker, but I'm consistent. My goal is to take on the Wa and Or PCT trails 50 miles at a time. I don't have the time to take off months to do the entire thing and I don't want to hike in the desert. My husband and I are planning on taking a week this year to hike the section from 3 Sisters to Breitenbush campground. But this is still a work in progress. We are information gathering at this point.
I personally am hoping to meet some local hikers who would let me join in some day hikes or weekend backpacking trips. I'd like to get to know this area better. Oregon is so beautiful! Before we moved here, my personal goal was to take on 7 Devils in Idaho...perhaps one day!
I am a stay-at-home mom to 1 child left in the nest. She's 16 and we homeschool. My older 2 kids are adults now. One still lives in Idaho and the other still lives at home while she works full time to save up to move out on her own. I garden and hike. Those are my passions.
