I spent the majority of my childhood on the western side of the cascades and the Hood river area. If you are looking for a place to camp you have several thousand square miles of forest to choose from out there. Scout Lake used to be the best place on earth, but it was logged out about 10-12 years ago. Burt Lake was pretty cool too. I cant remember the names of most of the places I went when I was young, my dad would remember though.
