Lets be honest, here at NC we love pens. But you can’t carry around a crappy looking pen. And you can’t have a pen sitting on your nice fancy desk that looks like you bought it at K-Mart in the back to school section. Sure the Hi-Tec-C pens are nice, and wonderful for everything from writing to those late night sketches you text to that girl you like, but at the end of the day those cheap plastic housings just look sad. cw&t has fixed that with their Type-A pen.

So despite the last minute change of plans Oregon turned out great.  We began our hike at Eagle Creek and went a quick 7 and a half miles to our first camp site. I was really surprised by the terrain there. Having never been to the northwest before I thought it would just be like all the other forests, evergreen trees and plants, but here its more like a rain forest/jungle. There were tons of waterfalls throughout Eagle Creek and more ferns then you can imagine and moss covered just about every inch of everything in sight.  Day 2 we planned on heading towards a place called Tanner Butte but as we got 6 miles down the trail it completely died, we tried looking for the trail for a while but ended up having to turn around and go back to the same camp. Oh and did I mention it was raining the whole time…day and night.
