Lately I have been thinking a lot about travel (considering it is my current full time focus). It is extremely helpful to receive beta from fellow travelers or locals prior to a trip. In hopes of returning the beta karma, I thought I would start posting up trip beta from places I h

- Out of bounds camping is possible but problematic and could easily be illegal. Don't be surprised if a bear gets a whiff of your yummy ramen and decides to investigate. In that case there is always the Walmart alternative.
- Bring mosquito coils and/or repellent no matter what. The coils were helpful when cragging, especially at Checkamus.
- Definitely bring a tarp or two and enough parachute type cord to rig a shelter especially if you are staying in the campground for an extended period of time. (Thank you Captain Obvious.)
- Beer was outrageously expensive. Think $17 for a six-pack of Molson tallboy cans. Wine was much more reasonably priced.
- If you pass through Boise on your way, stock up at the Boise Co-op. If you are from out of town you get a free 30-day membership, be sure to mention this at the register. Awesome beer selection and fresh food abounds.
- No fires are allowed at the Chief campground.
- If you head to Whistler, be prepared for typical ski-resort prices.
- Don't weave in and out of lanes and cut cars off in the line at the border - it was way satisfying to see a person exhibiting this type of behavior get directed aside for a search at customs.
- A fun day of bouldering can be had by heading north to Pemberton.
- The rivers to the north of Squamish are absolutely beautiful, I would probably bring my old fly rod next time. Licenses (like everything else) were expensive though.
- Next time one goal will be The Ultimate Everything on the Chief.

- I used to climb a lot, but I started to prefer bouldering as it brought up my level of excitement. I would love to try bouldering there. So far the only places I've done it is in upstate New York, Maine, Vermont, and Colorado.
- I would like to add that on top of a tarp and cord, that it would be a good idea to have a small 2000 watt generator handy: Especially when you're walking to your site.
- I personally like having my own meals with me. It takes away from the whole experience by venturing into local eateries unless I'm on the tail-end of my trip (where I'd be dying for a few pints and get deliriously fed and knackered). Yet again I'm a big believer that if you can haul it, bringing one's own cooler full of tasty hops is worthwhile.
