Camp near Paisley on the Oregon Desert Trail
This is a list of the equipment I carried while backpacking on the Oregon Desert Trail. Each hike my pack changes a bit, depending on the demands of the region and the time of year. The high desert can be all over the place!! This trip I carried a bit more techno-gadgets than normal, but the trade off was essential to meet the goal of sharing the hike with others.
