Hey all, my name is Mike and I recently moved to Lebanon, Oregon and am hoping to find some hiking buddies in western Oregon, or pretty much anywhere in the PNW for that matter. My experience is minimal (haven't done any overnight trips, and the most difficult hike I've done to date was about 8.5 mi, 3200' gain), but my passion for hiking and just being out in nature is strong (I "discovered" hiking about two years ago after a lifetime of being an indoor human completely divorced from the natural world, and the urge of wanting to make up for lost time probably explains a lot of that passion). My dream/goal is to be a hiking guide, as I've recently come to realize that walking around in nature and exploring the world is kind of all I want to do with my life, and I'd love to be able to one day help others get outside and do the same as well). I'm a 29-year old male in moderate physical shape with a car and a flexible schedule, and am interested in meeting pretty much anyone who wants to day hike, plan a multi-day backpacking adventure, or even just walk around in the woods for a few hours foraging and trying to identify unfamiliar plants.
