Alaskan Campers

I've been looking for info on camping sites in Oregon. I found this and think it's pretty interesting! It has made me change my plans to visit the coast in the fall instead of this coming spring. Stay away from heavy winds and rain.


Most of the information I've dug up early on seems to be focused on black-topping travels. I fully intend to keep looking for public land tracks and routes as my dominant interest areas.

Think I'll add a random outdoorsy picture now and then just to keep up the eye candy level. Places I've been or want to see.

Happy holidays everyone!

It is a rainy Christmas Eve day here. So have been playing around in the truck, learning all the new to me buttons and knobs.

Having finished that, I decided to photograph the Raven symbols I've stuck to the sides of the vehicle on the front doors. I mentioned earlier that the Raven is my totem.

On the passenger side we have Raven stealing the sun.

On the driver's side you can see Raven stealing the moon.

For stealing the sun, moon, and stars and giving them to humans and thus bringing light to the earth, Raven, who found himself caught in the lodge's smoke hole, was punished. Before he could free himself his feathers which originally were pure white, were scorched black. And that is why all ravens are black today. There are several different versions of this story in indigenous cultures. I hope I didn't bastardize this too badly.
