Olympic Coast Line
Bailey Johnston Hey all, So this is the first of many entries to come over the next year. This was my last trip guiding for the Outdoor Program, we spent five days on the Olympic Peninsula, an untouched streach of coastline in Washington. This was a great trip and a wonderful learning experiance. The area is beautiful, lots of sea stacks, arches and caves. Though we didnt really get a chance to hike into the forest (because we were on the beach the entire time) we did get some amazing sights from the top of a headland raising 60meters above the ocean. The shear cliffs on three sides was a little intimidating but really made for a good view. This trip also gave me a great view into leading multiday trips, though I have lead many three day trips, those extra 2 days make a big difference. I also didnt have any experiance working with my leadership team before which was another challenge. I am still excited about working as a guide and will hopefully get a job when I return in the spring of 2008.
I am done with school for now and have many plans for traveling for this next year. I will start by going to Yosimite valley where I will be taking a Wilderness EMT course through NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School), and where I will hopefull get a lot of climbing in! From there it is off to work to earn money for my travels. Ill be leaving the US on October first.

This was a big change; I went from a high school of 250 people to a university of 24,000. This change was the best of my life, so far. I really learned a lot in the short time I was in Portland, and I met tons of great people. Now I am getting ready for the trip of a life time. I will be going around the world in five months. I am planning on the... full info
