    Sweet! Really want to make it this year, just lacking in my kit for snow. Cold is no problem, but I need to get busy and build myself a pulk and get some snowshoes.

    Check out Drift Creek Wilderness. It's by Waldport, about an hour drive from Albany.

    Stay away from Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson Wildernesses. Too many Portlanders. My advice would be the Eagle Cap Wilderness, and come in from the south side. Most beautiful country in the world!

    Other than my backyard, there are plenty of trails in the Oakridge area, as well as Cottage Grove. Some nice trails over at the coast too.

    Luci lantern here. I hang it off a grosgrain loop on my tarp in easy reach from the hammock. Also comes in handy around the house when a winter storm knocks out the electricity.

    Once the mosquitoes are gone, so is the bugnet. Other insects don't bother me, my hammock straps are permethrin treated, and have never had any nasties in the hammock with me. ;)
