This trail is right next to Vivian Creek, which I did not too long ago. Momyer Creek Trail was surprisingly different from Vivian Creek Trail, despite being [...] Momyer-Slide http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/19/light-my-fire-s-mk-4cpk-outdoor-meal-kit-review/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=light-my-fire-s-mk-4cpk-outdoor-meal-kit-review http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/19/light-my-fire-s-mk-4cpk-outdoor-meal-kit-review/#comments Sun, 19 May 2013 16:41:00 +0000 Josh http://opadventureteam.com/?p=6632 http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/19/light-my-fire-s-mk-4cpk-outdoor-meal-kit-review/feed/ 0 While I do not backpack that often, I have been getting into it more in the last year or so and have been gathering up gear to go with it. One of the more recent things I picked up was this four peace outdoor meal kit  to compliment my JetBoil, which is one of my [...] IMG_0021 http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/17/camino-de-santiago-way-of-st-james-updates-from-the-road/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=camino-de-santiago-way-of-st-james-updates-from-the-road http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/17/camino-de-santiago-way-of-st-james-updates-from-the-road/#comments Fri, 17 May 2013 16:44:12 +0000 Josh http://opadventureteam.com/?p=7262 http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/17/camino-de-santiago-way-of-st-james-updates-from-the-road/feed/ 1 These are my road updates from the Camino De Santiago. I will update as I have WiFi at night.

Focus on sharpening the mind.  For [...] wild boar 2 http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/16/kickstarter-picks-windcatcher-inflatable-airmat/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kickstarter-picks-windcatcher-inflatable-airmat http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/16/kickstarter-picks-windcatcher-inflatable-airmat/#comments Thu, 16 May 2013 16:17:30 +0000 Vanessa http://opadventureteam.com/?p=7426 http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/16/kickstarter-picks-windcatcher-inflatable-airmat/feed/ 1 I remember as a child spending the first 30 minutes of a family camping trip sitting in our tent pumping up air mattresses with a bicycle pump. It wasn’t exactly what we wanted to spend our time on. Even now, I have a “self-inflating” sleeping pad that doesn’t actually self-inflate; I still have to blow [...] Windcatcher-Slide http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/14/hiking-south-fork-to-dry-lake/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hiking-south-fork-to-dry-lake http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/14/hiking-south-fork-to-dry-lake/#comments Tue, 14 May 2013 16:49:33 +0000 Vanessa http://opadventureteam.com/?p=7307 http://opadventureteam.com/2013/05/14/hiking-south-fork-to-dry-lake/feed/ 0 The South Fork Trail is known to be the most popular trail in the San Gorgonio Wilderness, and now I can see why. I hiked this trail on Sunday to Dry Lake, and it has easily replaced the San Bernardino Peak Trail as my new favorite in this area.

At over 22k ft, Janhukot isn’t that far below Everest’s 29k ft, and nobody has successfully reached the summit yet.
