Of course you can live in the woods. It's just really cold and damp all the time :-) But there's plenty of plants and water and such.

Never been to a campground in Oregon though. I've only camped out on the treeline of Mt St Helens, on Rainier, under a tarp near Cougar for a month, and on the (cold,windy) summit of South Sister several times, as far as OR/WA camping go. I don't think that I would stay in a campground for the exact reasons you mentioned :) _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
