My Locale PNW
About Me I've been backpacking since the early 70's . For the past 16 years it's been day hiking as our daughter grew up , with camping in the Cascades every summer. Now we are ready to take her deeper in , and I'm re-equipping us for lighter travel. Photography is a major hobby, as well as Chinese gardens and travel in China.

Re: The CAFFIN tents come!
The Caffin Coffin name game is unfortunate and too much like Melville.I think the Tunnel Vision Summer , and Tunnel Vision Winter, are more like it.

Probably , but then those who dive are in a much bigger fix? That being darkness and dwindling time?

You know your stuff alright.The stage is critical. I'm thinking even more of that crazy poodle bush in the Sierras off our radar in Oregon so far.And then such basics as Rhododendrons and thei...
