Anyone in here who knows me has probably noticed I am a motorhead.I love cars and trucks.But,I also love The Great Outdoors.It was what brought me to Oregon.So,I decided to start a new thread just for that.Tell us what you like to do.Camping,fishing,hiking,boating,hunting? Whatever? Maybe you have some photo's from a camping trip,fishing,or hunting trip.A favorite spot you go too,or a spot you want to go to.

I went camping here and didn't wanna leave.Twin Falls Washington

Time2Surrender · 01-28-2005, 12:23 AM

My favorite spot is the Olympic Penisula . This is God's country without a doubt.River's,Stream's,Lakes,Mountains,A Rain Forest and the Ocean coast.

I was a Boy Scout. I even made Eagle. So yeah, I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. I also camped on my own outside of the scouts. I have camped in spring, summer, fall, and winter.

I went to Philmont in '85 on the first Order of the Arrow trek there. That was an awesome time.

I don't much care for fishing. I haven't much been on a boat.

Campfires are awesome. I love to build them. I love even more to sit by them. I need someone to do that with though.

I live near the Appalachian Trail. I hike on it often. I have often thought about throwing everything else aside on spending six months on it.

Hiking in the dark does not bother me. Sometimes that is the only time I have to do it.

I work in an office but being outside feels like home to me.

Time2Surrender · 01-28-2005, 12:42 AM

The Appalation Trail is awesome.I also like The Smokey Mountains.I can relate to the campfire thing.Something about sitting around a campfire at night it's almost hypnotizing.

I've always liked camping and fishing. I get into the campfires, so much so I put a fire pit in my backyard to be able to have fires often here at home, though they've turned more into bonfires lately.

Fishing I enjoy just because I love being on the water. Even if I'm not cathing anything, just being there works wonders for me.

Beautiful pics T2!

mikee · 01-28-2005, 05:23 AM

Time2 those pics are beyond words man..ahhh.. I think you've been away from Texas to long, here in Houston, freeway constuction is, breath taking, and can be seen, for miles and miles lol

Gooch · 01-28-2005, 08:43 AM

I have a little over 6 acres here and it's on the side of a hill. Theres a spring fed pond about 1000 yards down behind the house, and I have a nice trail cut donw there through the brush and trees. Has a bonfire pit that I can't use until after the spring level receds about June, so I have another behind my little carriage house/chicken coop of a shop. I have pics but they are on my other pc. including some of my favorite wildflower.. Jack in the pulpit. They only grow under certain conditions. My botanical interest usually only extends to whats good to eat but these were so intriguing to me that I had to find out more.

CAPTAINZING2000 · 01-28-2005, 10:42 AM

Mike My Friend,

Any One That Doesn't Believe In God Should Look At Those Pics

I Think, I Can Hear The Water

Gooch · 01-28-2005, 01:05 PM

I had to make an extra trip to the lav.

I know what you mean Mikee.I miss the breath taking Freeway construction views.We dont have that in Portland.But,I guess the rain makes up for it.

6 acres! Cool.Must be nice.My house sits on a 10,000 sq ft lot.Property is pretty spendy around here.

mikee · 01-29-2005, 07:11 PM

Time2, ur pics are awesome man, Oregon is really all that, makes me want to pack down my 3/4 ton Ford iron horse and trail up in a way i cant put into words!

Brookie · 01-29-2005, 11:50 PM

That is awesome stuff. What river is that? I can spot a half dozen nice looking spots to drop a fly.

I don't even know where to start on this thread. I'm a flyfisherman (hence "Brookie"). I've flyfished Colorado, Montana, the Catskills in New York, and in salt water in Texas, New York, the Caymans, and Florida. I bowhunt here in Texas, and kayak down on the coast. Did a lot of hiking and camping as a kid with the scouts (another Eagle here), including the Appalachian trial and Philmont more than 20 years ago. Haven't been camping in years. I used to love that, but I'm getting pretty lazy now that I'm in my 30s. Most of my time outdoors now is spent fishing, hunting and kayaking.

Agree with Mikee that Houston leaves a lot to be desired for this stuff, but there's a lifetime's worth of fishing and kayaking down on the Texas coast. Still miss the trout fishing and hiking I used to do when in Colorado, though.

Time2Surrender · 01-30-2005, 09:04 AM

Brookie,that would be the Snoqlualmie River

Thanks Mikee,I packed up my Ford in 96, came to Oregon and never left.

Time2Surrender · 01-30-2005, 10:03 AM

Brookie,The Hoh River is another one of my favorite spots to go camping and fishing.Plenty of Steelhead in this river.And it's an easy drive right off Hwy 101.One of the most scenic highways I have ever traveled.

A few years back we went on a camping/fishing trip at Panguich Lake Utah Elevation 8400 ft.Considered one of the 10 best trout fishing lakes in the US.

Brookie · 02-02-2005, 10:55 AM

Great stuff T2S. I've never been steelhead fishing. Done a lot of trout fishing, but I understand steelhead is taking it to the next level - harder to get a strike because they're not really feeding as they head upriver. Not to mention bigger and stronger. I'd love to try it sometime.

That sunset picture is spectacular.

Incidentally, I've cleared it with the wife. We're moving to Oregon as soon as we win the lottery. Gotta be any day now.

Time2Surrender · 02-02-2005, 02:03 PM

LOL,Im still waiting to win the lottery myself.But,since I dont play I feel the odds are against me.Steelhead fishing is best in the winter.And the Steelhead fishiing is exellent up here.
