Falls View Canyon Trail #868

Posted 01-24-2010 at 09:27 PM by Bradsalex
So the family went driving yesterday, we were looking for a road that went to the top of a mountain which overlooks the Washington sound. So after two hours of driving we reach the road and of course, since it is January, the road is closed for the winter. There is a trail to the top one person says to us, but it's a two mile trail with 2,000 foot of elevation gain. So we decided to go to a waterfall trail my wife looked up.

The trail is inside of the Falls View Campground. The...

Duckabush River Trail #803

Posted 01-11-2010 at 01:06 PM by Bradsalex
Hello and Greetings to All,

This is the first hike that I am posting onto my blog. My family and some friends went to the Duckabush River Trail #803 in Olympic National Forest, Washington. It was a great day, with temperatures in the upper 40's, fog in the morning and overcast skies in the afternoon.

The trail head starts out at about 120m elev. and heads uphill instantly. The grade is not bad (I took my 5 year old) and it's uphill for about the first half to three...

Trip report: Eldorado National

Posted 08-13-2009 at 04:00 AM by 2coastcamper
I just spent three days in Eldorado National Forest. I've got to say, it's been some of the best camping I've found on the west coast. I stopped in the ranger station on the way in, and they gave me the drill --- no registration needed, no fees. Just camp where you want to, heed the fire restrictions, and pack out what you pack in. It was great. Basically, I was turned loose in a national forest, and allowed to camp WHEREVER I WANTED. I crossed a river, and hunkered down on the other bank. I made...

Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger body bar review

Posted 06-30-2009 at 11:07 PM by 2coastcamper
Whether you're camping or using it at home, the Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger Root body bar is an interesting way to start your day.

While it's not my favorite bar of soap out there, the natural smell of the ginger mixed with citrus fills my nose with an invigorating aroma. It's also great to know you're bathing with a bar of soap that's almost completely all natural (99.72%).

The smell doesn't last on your skin after the shower, but that's a good thing. It's such...

Ozark Trail multi-tool review

Posted 06-25-2009 at 02:26 AM by 2coastcamper
There are two things Les Stroud of Survivorman never left behind when he went out into the wilderness -- his trusty harmonica and a handy multi-tool.

Almost everyone here will agree, a good multi-tool is a must not only for every camping trip, but for even a day hike or picnic. But for those who are on a budget, the $50-$100 models sold by Leatherman and Gerber might be a tad out of reach.

Personally, I had an incident involving a raging river ... well, let's just say...
