    End of the Oregon Trail Meet Up- West Linn, OR

    Understand completely @Snowtrout , that Seattle traffic is brutal. When I have to head north I travel up through Gig Harbor and Port Townsend, then take the ferry to Couperville. May not save any time, but the scenery is much better. Stay in touch and maybe we can plan an adventure up your way...

    Winter Gear - Must Haves and Recommendations?

    Woolpower base layers and socks. Simms Coldweather Pant/Shirt JetBoil Woolpower is out of Sweden where they supply insulating garments for the North Sea oil fields. Expensive, but last for years. No special care required. My stuff is 10 years old and still going strong. Simms is a fishing...

    A lot of my photos are taken during fishing trips, but I've always found it's hard to do both well. Lately I have been focusing (bad pun) on my photography more. I do a weekly newsletter and manage my website, so I need fresh photos. Like fly fishing, don't get too hung up on the equipment...

    I love Eagles. This one lives on the Longbeach Peninsula in Washington. I was driving up the beach and spotted him in the surf line. I mounted up a 70-200 and started walking slowly towards him. These images are a few captured during this encounter. When I posted it filtered (bottom image) on...

    Overland Trip Planning: Know Before You Go

    Haven't been that organized in the past, but you have inspired me. I'm going to add a list of emergency contacts in the area of travel. Also a designated check in/out contact. Thanks!

    Fly Fishing

    Six years ago after a very busy start to our new business, my wife and I spent Christmas on the Metolius River in Central Oregon. I took along a camera and my laptop, creating this video of our holiday. Every year since we have shared it in our weekly newsletter as our Christmas card. I thought...

    Thanks for the input and thank you for your service. Planing to do separate catalogs for each year, then renaming downloaded files with date/location (really just adding location) with a "Capture" sub file. Multi day events into the first date Capture file. I tried using Keywords, but will need...

    There seems to be a few of you here on the forum that like me shot professionally at one time, or are still doing so. I worked in the now golden age of film and am still trying to figure out this digital thing. I really didn't have to deal with post production or storage as that was handled by...

    what form of gps do you use?

    I use a Delorme inReach with iPad and Earthmate app. I travel alone so the communication feature is very nice when I'm out of cell range and need to check in. Also, my wife who can't travel with me can follow my progress from her computer at home. Gives her peace of mind when I'm off doing silly...

    Nature Photos

    Headed over to the Deschutes River yesterday for some late season Steelhead fishing. The canyon is quiet this time of year and the Sheep are coming down to the river to drink. Colder weather would really bring them down, but we're having a fairly warm and wet fall/winter so far. They have...

    Portland Area Shop?

    I had the guys at 4x4Parts on 82nd install my UCAs and do a line up. Was very happy with the service. Ask for Austin.

    Fly Fishing

    Once a week is much better.... it does wonders for your attitude. Don't get too focused on the gear to start off. Build your tackle collection like you build an Overlanding rig, as you learn. You'll be making tweaks to it all the time. Buy the best you can afford, but remember there's quality at...

    I wheeled a Baby Grand once around the road course for a test session. Decided to stick with door slammers. Felt too much like a Vienna sausage..... Better add a photo or two here to keep this thread legit.... San Philipe Yucatan

    If you fly fish I'm freaking out... my first ride was this little Rabbit. 19 bunnies in class here in PDX. The Bunny Bash was the group to run in if you wanted to learn to race. Never was beat by another Rabbit... but a few Golfs could nip me at the line on the straightaway. Rabbit had the aero...
