    Yeah I have been watching that. Unfortunately, 4 people just died up at the "death Zone". I have always wanted to check everest off my bucket list but now that I have a girl I am about to marry and soon to be step son, it isn't worth it to me. I will do the mountains around here and call it a day.
    :popcorn: have fun! What Eureka tent did you get?

    Great thread. My buddies and I did the presidential traverse last spring and are looking to do katadin this fall before they close it. If you get the chance do the traverse. Awesome trip, but not for the faint of heart.

    Waiting for it to stop being cold, snowy and generally crappy every weekend so that I can go out...this weekend didn't turn out too bad I guess. With any luck I'll be camping next week.

    Great photos, Lytle Creek is gorgeous. What elevation is that at?

    I know it's different on the west coast but I love getting above 4000 feet in the mountains over here.

    You know what, I'm not even sure. I think atound 4200?
    I'm gonna be doing another trip in a week or two, try to go in a little further. I don't do well in heat, so we don't hike in as far as we would near the end of winter.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure what the interest would be in a overnight trip for TW members. But maybe I'll try to plan something out by the end of next month. Scoping some places out. This will be a hike in camp- no car camping allowed. :D

    I live in Bellingham, WA and I'm looking for some good suggestions of places to go camping. I'm interested in potentially heading towards the mountain loop highway, somewhere east of HWY 9 maybe around Van Zandt area, or possibly somewhere off HWY 20 not too far east of Sedro.
    I'm open to actual campground suggestions and really interested in "off grid"/free sites as well.

    so... any ideas
