Dressed in Dirt is a blog about my experiences as a female backpacker. I’ve been blogging for a while, but I started this site in May 2009 so that I could share stories about my time on the Appalachian Trail. I’ve writing about my adventures so much, that I’m continuing to write from my home in Portland.
PDX Day Hiker is a guidebook style hiking blog
based in Portland Oregon. The site can be used for trip planning with relevant
information such as driving directions, practical hiking times and honest
difficulty ratings. Trip reports focus on hiking areas in and around Portland,
Oregon and the surrounding areas of Oregon and Southwest Washington. Jackie has
been writing up reviews and trip reports of her hiking adventures since May of
2009 and is working on uploading a back-log of hand-written hiking journals
covering 2007 and 2008.
I discuss hiking and backpacking with an emphasis on the Oregon trails I’ve been on. I also will do an occasional gear review and offer suggestions.
