Oregon Hikers

Chip: so 2017 was the year of Hood and 2018 the year of St. Helens. Is 2019 the year to find a dozen routes up Adams?

Hi,

Unfortunately set my camera down along the Blue Pool trail today (August 3) and forgot it when we got going again. I'm certain someone picked it up. If you hear of anyone finding one, I'd really appreciate a heads up. It's a Lumix FZ40.

For others who may be curious, I didn't realize Sprague Lk was also within the Jeff Park boundaries, so this applies: If camping within 250 feet of any of the lakes in Jefferson Park you must camp within a designated site.

It looks like a beautiful place to camp, so I was wondering if that was viable (and not disallowed). Is there any kind of boot path over to the lake from the PCT or is it more...

The photographer talks about the photo a little bit here: http://mikeputnamphoto.com/oregons-mt-washington-fine-art-photograph/ buuuut I get the feeling that he's purposefully leaving out the location. Maybe not. Matching up the angle in Earth: https://streamable.com/9awk3 gives a heading of about 1...

Wow! Looks fantastic in the winter. Thanks for sharing.
