Sauvie Island Camping

Some pics from our camping trip this week.  Sauvie Island is so close to Portland and yet so beautiful and rural.  A wonderful mix of farms, country side and water.  About 20 miles there and another 20 back the next day.  With the exception of the mosquitos, and destroyed cook pot, everything went off without a hitch.
And remember, you don't need nice equipment, a fancy touring bike, or front racks to enjoy a weekend of camping on two wheels! we fit everything in one pannier, one bike bucket and a 35 Liter pack, not bad.













 Ride safe and camp too!

  2. It's the best man. We're looking into a combination bike-hike-camping trip soon. We'll have to get a group to go once we show up in August!

  5. Lori, Your stove has turned into a tent! (on a budget we realized we needed a tent more than a stove) It was sad to exchange it cause that stove is rad, but it has provided shelter for us so thank you!
