The Adventure Guys
We admit it. We've got great jobs. How many people get told by their bosses to go out and play? We write about those experiences each Thursday in The News Tribune’s Adventure section. But there's always more to the story. Here, Craig Hill and Jeffrey P. Mayor will share the inside stories on their adventures - including their misadventures - plus post news and answer your questions.

The Adventure Guys
The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
A night at Fivemile Butte Lookout
Posted by Craig Hill @ 10:41:06 pm

Tomorrow morning's Adventure section will feature camping in rentable fire lookouts around Oregon. This is an ideal first backpacking trip for kids.

I even pulled my daughter out of school for an early "Take Your Kid to Work" trip to Fivemile Butte Lookout east of Mount Hood.


UPDATE: Here's a link to the story.

Here's the video from the trip.
