Oregon Hikers

I know this is an old thread, but I also know there are those of us with narrow feet for whom Google still digs it up. So I want to mention that ever since Dunham stopped making narrow Waffle Stompers (the only hiking boot that has ever fit me), the only thing I've been able to find is that LL Bean ...

Karl, thanks for the link to the great TR. Yeah, that looks hairy. I know there is no way my hiking buddy would do it, and the photos give me second thoughts.

This entry at summitpost http://www.summitpost.org/mount-margaret-backcountry/565462 calls the Whittier Ridge "a fun scramble!"

The black plastic cap for the iso-butane can, that I thought I lost at the campsite, was found in a jacket pocket on 10/16/12. Score 1 for LNT.

...The wine was a luxury and has to go. I'm looking to get my base weight without food down to close to 20 lbs. Any suggestions anybody has, I'm listening. read this thread. http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10531 when you get your baseweight down to ~10lbs you can carry the ...

When I created this TR, I was limited to uploading 15 photos, so I left out some things I wanted to include. I'm seeing that other TRs have lots more than 15. What's the secret?
