Oregon Day 27
Hello Everyone, Well, I am still in Ashland, Oregon, enjoying my few days of rest. I felt a little antsy in the morning because I have been so use to my routine of packing up and getting ready for the day, and excited about whatever that day will bring. I had to remind myself that …
Oregon Day 26
Hello Everyone, Well, I am here in Ashland, Oregon, at my brother Tom's house on day 27. I made it to Klamath Falls and only had to trek 8.8 miles today, almost a record low for one day. I started out my morning waking to the sound of shot guns firing in all directions around …
Oregon Day 25
Hello Everyone, I didn't quite make it to Klamath Falls today, but I must be pretty close to civilization because I hear a high school football game going on not to far from here. Of course, it's Friday night in small town American, what else would they be doing. I can hear the band, cheerleaders, …

Hello Everyone, Well, I made it to Camp 25, the beautiful Ellis Motel, in Tulelake, CA. I only trekked 14.34 miles today because I did not start until 11:30 because it did not stop raining until about ten. Yes, I am laying on a bed, but have my sleeping bag laid out on it since …

Oregon Day 21
Hello Everyone, Today I spent the day resting and repacking all my food and equipment. Slept in late and watched some football, and went into town. It is a tiny town but one with an interesting history. Apparently the valley was the passage area of several wagon trails to California and Oregon. The owner of …
Oregon Day 20
Hello Everyone, Well, I finally made it to Adin and Camp 20, The Last Resort in Adin. Right now I am laying on the bed and missing my sleeping bag. I might have to break it out and use it on the bed. Today was an early day for me as I wanted to make …
Oregon Day 19
Hello Everyone, I am camp somewhere south of Adin off of 139. I am not sure how far from Adin because my trekking program stopped working when I was stopped at the CDF Fire Station. I reset it when I left the station and estimate that I trekked about 15 miles today. I have no …
