Trip Reports & Other Posts
RIP Barry Lopez, Barry Lopez, the award-winning, prolific and influential Oregon author whose writings addressed wide-ranging cultural, environmental, philosophical and spiritual themes, died Dec. 25 in Eugene.
My latest post is about my use of the Oculus Quest VR Headset for exercise.
I plan to revisit the Lost Coast Trail on February 18. I will do the Sawtooth Wilderness at the end of June and the Timberline Trail July 11. My big wish this year is to do the John Muir Trail, JMT, in mid to late August so I guess I need some permit karma.
