AdventuresNW
In 1976 I planned my first trip to the Pacific Northwest. With two friends, I hitchhiked from Eastern Pennsylvania to Cascade Locks in Oregon and hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) south to Crater Lake. I borrowed a friend’s Nikkormat camera for the trip and tried hard to capture the look and feel of what I saw. Since that first trip on the PCT I have traveled broadly yet no matter where I was living, in the U.S. or overseas, I always felt a tug back to the Pacific Northwest. The North Cascades is my home now and I couldn’t be happier.
