Mia and I decided to #optoutside (Yeah REI!) on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It took some convincing from me to Mia for us to hit up the Wolf Creek Trestle Hike out in the Tillamook Forest.

Ft. Stevens Hike
It’s been a bit of a lazy November so far. Mia told me that Codi wanted to do a longer hike this weekend since it had been awhile since we had taken him out. We settled on Ft. Stevens out near Astoria, OR. The weather forecast was cool, clear and sunny with some winds. We…
