The Eastern boarder of Oregon is 2,250 miles or so from where I am going west. I will be taking the Greyhound (aka the coach bus) there. To see the Northern parts of the US along the way.

Hey Mitri-I grey up on the eastern border of Oregon,do you know the name of the place that you are going?Also this time of year it's probably going to be a litlle warmer than you're used to.Last I heard on the weather report it is near the mid 90's F.

Not too sure going to do it like any other camping trip, got a list of a few places mainly in the Central/South East part and maybe Hells Canyon up north. And go to a few of them on a "why not" system (aka the Gut Feeling method of selecting places on the fly) and just have fun. Smile

Mitri-if you're going to the hells canyon area better be familiar with rattlesnakes this time of year/or for that matter any arid area on the border.My father was bitten just last week and he has lived in the hells canyon area for 20 years-furtunately he got medical attention on time,and he's doing ok now. Smile

Watch your step and where you place your hands-the snake that bit him never even rattled!Other than that have a great camping trip!

One thing ... how many army rations you bringing.

Going to go with Mountain House meals, never had MREs. At a rate of 2.5 per day camping. So "5 servings" a day according to the packaging. Laughing

Dimitri...Make sure you get the Mountain House servings for two...'Cause you will eat the whole thing. I know...I use them when I'm on horse back in the mountains and serving for one just isn't enough. Rather have too much then not enough...

By The Way...Mountain House is the best and most convenient...Just boil water, pour in bag, let set for 5 minutes and eat right out of the bag. NO DISHES to wash...

Will be doing that (as I mentioned in my post) or doubling the number of the small meals to 5 per day. Shocked
