Checking in to say howdy!
I live in central Oregon and have been a backpacker off and on since I was a teenager in the mid 1980's. I've never had the circumstances to do a trip longer than a week, but hope to one of these days.
I'm not clear on why the forums moved off the Backpacker magazine website to the free forums.net site. Oh well, the only constant in life is change I guess.
Anyway, Howdy and be seein' y'all around.

Howdy!
The forums moved because the old software was crap.

Hi Hiker4Ever, welcome to the forums. I'm not clear on why the forums moved off the Backpacker magazine website to the free forums.net site. The forums at the Backpacker magazine website crashed. In fact they were in perpetual crash mode. They never worked right since their inception. And they caused a lot of people to give up and go elsewhere. It was an impossible situation that either meant the death of the forums entirely, or moving here. Fortunately we moved here to probably the best version of the forums we have ever had. It has made a world of difference with much more participation, new members, old members returning, etc. |

Central Oregon you say? We have members from Bend, Salem, Portland, Pendleton, and maybe some I am forgetting. Welcome to this rendition, and maybe you'll get a chance to meet up with others from that area.

Welcome! I'm a WA native, though I moved south a quarter of a century back :0 So I sort of used to be a neighbor  How do you feel about kilts, beets, and brussels sprouts? (That's the short version of the quiz. Others will no doubt chime in with the rest). |

They never worked right since their inception. Actually the forums did work well for a good while, until they decided an upgrade was necessary. But that was many years ago. Anyway hiker4ever, welcome to the forums. I live on the Olympic Peninsula. Rumi |

Anyway hiker4ever, welcome to the forums. I live on the Olympic Peninsula. Rumi The "upgrade" is what I was talking about. And I don't know anyone here who thought it worked well. |
