So. I am itchin. I NEEEED to go backpacking. I know, I know, it's a little late in the year for most trails I want to go on, but thats ok, because if you know me very well, the idea of me with a 50 lb backpack for days is slightly hilarious, slightly pathetic. Suffice to say-I am not in backpacking shape. But screw that. I can dream. And get in shape. What I REALLY want to do is summit Rainier. But, since I am not into self-torture, I would rather wait until I am ready. So, in the mean time I am making a list of place I do want to try. Let's start with the smaller hikes, shall we?
-Mt. Neahkahnie Trail, 7 miles along the Oregon Coast. Can we say gorgeous?
Ok, I got totally distracted and the rest of my list was lost. But that is part of the fun-building lists and dreaming.
I am open to suggestions in Oregon and Washington, whatcha got?

For easy backpacks, coastal trails are always good, and Oregon and Washington have some really awesome ones.
Long but flat is Enchanted Valley which I really want to do sometime.
I also want to do the Enchantments, but those you better prepare and get a permit for.
And I'd betcha we can figure out backpacking if you really want to go, as long as we got a flashlight...I mean, you need gear, I can get gear.
p.s. Now I know what to give your for your bday. Let me introduce you to my friend the Jetboil... he's is super cool
