Greetings all,
My legal name is BrYan, I have an amazing wife of nearly 20 years and we have a freshman in college and a 10th grader in HS. I/we joined this group in hope of seeking the help of others who have been there done that. Quick intro done. Meat of on my first post, !HELP! My goal is by late spring early summer be versed enough to take my then 16 year old son on a over night hike... We went to Smith Rock in central OR for "Black Friday" #OptOutside we were taken back by its size and beauty. Did a very, very short hike/walk and decided then this was our future. He is a local Fire Cadet, plays both football and baseball for his HS. As for me I am out of shape wireless integrator and HS football coach. I ask of the group to get us pushed in the right directions as in how to prepare? Gear? the do's and don'ts... Help us not make the same mistakes so that we enjoy hiking.
Thanks
EBD
