First time rock climbing in 25 years, a jump in the Salmon River, followed by afternoon margaritas. A good way to beat the 100 degree heat!

It's a new world of hiking! Pacific Crest Trail hiker Eddie Boyd (trail name Oilcan) shows off his 15 pound backpack. Hiking an average of 30 miles a day, he is on his 4th, and hopefully last, pair of trail runner shoes. After the highly anticipated Timberline Lodge breakfast buffet this morning, he will be on his way north to finish the last leg of his hike with a full belly and a fully restocked pack. Good luck Eddie!
