Today two good friends of mine hit the trail to hike north to Canada from the Mexican border. 2650 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. Im so excited for them I could explode.

I had been telling them for years when (not if, when) they did the PCT, I would happily sponsor them. Well within days of attending PCTAs Trails Fest in March, I received an email saying "Were doing it! Not in 2011, not 2010, but now!" WHOA!! Alright!

I am their official transcriber. They are sending... - [Read more]

I just spent a good portion of my morning updating the One Pan Wonders events calendar.

There are a ton of fun and interesting events coming in the next few months. Even more as we (eventually) roll into fall.

The Calendar has all the links and details, but here is a short list of what is coming:

April 9th - Skip Yowell, Jansport Founder at Feathered... - [Read more]

This is part one of my food for Warner Springs Montys PCT sponsorship. 39 meals. That is a DVD player box, to give you an idea of how much food this is. I have 21 more meals to mail down to him. Those are in the works.

These are all dinners suitable for freezer bag cooking and thru hiking. Entrees include Unstuffed... - [Read more]

Sunday morning Switchback Steve met us (me, Hoosierdaddy, Rainrunner and Durante) for breakfast at our hotel. He picked the hike for the day and it ended up being a beautiful one! We hiked to several waterfalls, about 30 miles east of Portland on the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway. I hadnt been down this way since college and it was nice to come back. It is as beautiful as I remember. And I got to play naturalist tour guide, which is always fun.

We had about an hour or so to... - [Read more]

I spent this past weekend at the PCTA Trails Fest in Portland. Three of this years thru hikers met me at my house and we headed out to meet HoosierDaddy who was nice enough to do all the driving.  He also found us a great hotel - cheap. And it included breakfast! Way to go!

Sorry about the bad photos - Im figuring out a new camera.

The weather here was crappy all weekend long, so I spent a good portion of the weekend cooking. Both for home and for the trail.

Ive been wanting to make some backpacking meals with blackeyed peas, but have been unable to find the canned variety lately. I bought a bag of dried and tossed them in the crock pot with some salt pork, chopped onion, chicken broth and a can of diced tomatoes. I... - [Read more]

All this cold weather and snow in the Seattle area is making me twitchy!! Its March for Petes sake! Im supposed to be hitting the trails, and seeing the beginnings of wildflowers popping their little heads up everywhere. Instead, it is 30 degrees outside.

So Im dreaming. Looking at past trip photos and sighing. Waiting for summer... Allow me to share. Ahhh... flowers... (next time it will be mountain views)

There has been some discussion on a backpacking message board I frequent about the environmenal ramifications of used canisters. Here in the Seattle area, we are able to recycle them with our normal recycling. They just have to be completely empty, then punctured before putting in the recycling bins.

But I wondered about other areas. Specifically Canada. I had heard that they did not recycle the canisters at all, so I called MEC, (1.888.847.0770) They assured me that the... - [Read more]

Yesterday the Madster and I met up with a friend from the NWhikers forums and his two kids. Weve hiked with them before and it is always enjoyable. His little girl is about 6 months or so younger than the Madster, but they get along great! We met in the parking lot of Discovery Park and did the loop trail, with a side trip to the beach. Just short of 4 miles total. Im totally proud of the girls. They did great!

Maddy sharing her snacks... Chocolate, of course!
