Exploits by bicycle in the Pacific Northwest. Monday, March 10, 2014. Bikepacking- Klickitat River, Washington. Six of us headed out for the first little bikepacking overnight of the season. From The Dalles, Oregon, we headed across the mighty Columbia River into Washington, where we would eventually hit the Klickitat River trail. It's basically a primitive rail trail, and the rough surface of ballast rock and washouts are best traveled on a mountain bike. Great, I'm thirsty". Notice the road sign? This ...

OutdoorEnvy: Quick trip trying out some new gear!
http://outdoorenvy.blogspot.com/2015/07/quick-trip-trying-out-some-new-gear.html
A never ending pursuit to take in all the outdoors has to offer. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Quick trip trying out some new gear! Well I got out for a brief jaunt mostly to get a feel for a new pack and use my new knife some. It was a hot and humid day. I stuck mostly to a couple trails/roads that are blocked off from public access. I hunt this area in the fall so it was a good opportunity to scout some of the area I haven't been before. Time to start processing some wood. So all in all a good trip out. T...

And you lived in L.A., right? I think we have something in common," I said. "I think we experienced the same earthquake. I think that was the Whittier earthquake of 1987. Yeah, I think so.". It started at about 7:30 in the morning on a bright autumn day: October 1, in fact. When I got to the store, everything was off the shelves and th...
