Hello everyone!
I have used the website and forum for a couple years to help plan trips and get info. I figured it was time to add to the community.
I am Oregon born/raised (near McMinnville in the coast range foothills) and I have lived in Eugene since 2005. I have worked outdoors for 11 years as a professional trail builder/bridge builder/remote access construction/fence builder/tree planter/wild land firefighter/etc. for a local contractor. For the last 7 years trail building has been my focus but it all depends on what jobs come up. I have worked on trails in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii and California.
I have been a backpacking since I was a young child but in the last year or two have been getting the itch to do more. I hope to do some long distance thru hikes soon (OCT, NUT, PNT, etc.) but it can be very rare for me to get prime hiking season time off.
I did a hike of the Rogue river trail earlier this week and I hope to add it to the trip reports real soon.
I hope I can add a different perspective to this community as a hiker and a trail builder.
Thanks!
