Just saying hello here as I just found this site. I have done most all the hikes in the Columbia Gorge several times as well as some coastal ones and been up Hood a few times. While I do like to have fun and enjoy the scenery on some hikes, alot of the time I push it and see how fast I can accomplish them. Last year, I did Mt Defiance in 4 hours, 54 minutes RT and Tanner Butte in 5 hours, 40 minutes RT. I've also done the Timberline in under a day as well. But I do like to slow em down once in a while and enjoy! That said, I lost my hiking partner last year (moved away) so now I typically hike alone. If anyone here is a little crazy, wanting to power hike once in a while and has a good sense of humor, I'd love to hike with someone. I have a pretty crass sense of humor so someone who has near the same would be great. Not to worry though, I can keep it in check and I usually just make fun of myself!
Oh, and I live in Hood River, 33, male and a volunteer Firefighter/EMT-B.
Glad to be here!!
