In Oregon me and Simba had to skip about 45 miles due to forest fires. That was demoralizing, but we had heard that Oregon is known for its fires. What we didn’t know is that Washington can burn as well. Now a part of Washington is closed because of a recent fire. And we thought this whole time that once we got to the last state, it’d be smooth sailing to Canada. Yesterday the smoke […]
So, the fires in Oregon forced us to get a ride to Olallie Lake. Well there, me and Simba rented a row boat and went out on the lake for sunrise. Some lovely people had arranged a trail magic operation, with everything you could imagine. That definitely set us back. Simba the fisherman. The next day we got to Timothy Lake. Once again there was a trail magic operation, this one with beautiful horses! We […]

The old PCT marker being eaten. Before getting to the Shelter Cove Resort, there is an alternate trail that I took. The Oregon skyline trail. Sounds cool right? No. It’s not. I ended up walking 8 miles in the wrong direction. […]

I started it out with getting soda from a trail magic cooler. Basically the entire day was filled with trail magic. I guess I enjoy free food. Oh well. Throughout the day I was high on […]
You can’t see them. But they are there. They always are. You know mosquitoes. Regular ones that is. The annoying little things. Sure, that’s bad and all. But this, this is something else. Oregon has mosquitoes spawned from the lowest level of hell. And I was apparently born with very tasty blood. You might be thinking “how bad could it be”. BAD. VERY, VERY BAD. I started Oregon with natural bug spray, afraid of putting […]
