Re: House passes the EXPLORE act
"Requires constructing a target shooting range on every National Forest" that's a weird one I would think the government wouldn't want anything to do with target shooting ranges because it exposes them to liability - if anyone is ever hurt they can blame it on incorrect government action like the se...

Toliak Point feb 2024
In February I spent a few nights on Toliak Point Toliak Point from my campsite: 202402kalaloch.jpg I do a trip there most years. Mostly walking along beaches with occasional spots where a trail goes around a head. Bald Eagles. Marine Mammals. Racoons. Off season hardly anyone. There was this guy Gar...

Rogue River 4/9/2024
First I tried to get to Tucker Flat but there was snow on the road. Then I went Graves Creek (from Wolf Creek). A few people parked there. The road also appeared open from Merlin. Then I drove to Whiskey Creek, a little easier access to the Rogue than Graves Creek. Abandoned car just before trailhea...

Re: 2022 and Beyond - Snow Levels
I tried to drive to Tucker Flat on the middle to the Rogue River. A bit too much snow for my tastes. On April 9.
It's probably okay now, or by the time anyone reads this and then goes there.
I just went to the east end - Graves Creek

Re: May 2024 Backpacking
I've hiked on the Lewis River a little. It's not real wild.
Hiking up Eagle Creek or Herman Creek would be better in my experience. Eagle Creek is busier and not so many places to camp, but amazing views of the creek.

Re: Timberline Trail Backpacking Itinerary and Questions
I think September is the best month - not quite as hot, snow melted so streams are easier to cross Several years ago there were several days of heavy rain in September. The stream flow increased. A hiker was washed away and didn't survive. Another year someone didn't survive crossing the seasonal br...
