I got out yesterday to check out the bike-in campsite on Lake Spokane (the only one designated as such, as far as I am aware). Accessible on foot or bike, I did not stay overnight but it is in my plans for overnight bikepacking this season.

Off to new places! I'm done with Austria for this time. It was nice to be here, but my Interrail ticket gives me another four days of traveling. Let's see what's waiting for me in the coming days. Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
Bikepacking day 2. Cold night; should've brought the warm sleeping bag...
Single-track is heavy and tricky with heavy bags! Even rode a bit of a former railway.
@kajord thank you. I really enjoy it. I've been lending friends gear and trying to introduce them with easy, local overnighters. Easiest way is to grab a beer and a burrito - or your local equivalents - with a bag and a pad strapped to your bars, and head into the woods with some friends on a Friday. You can make it more than that, but it's a bike ride that involves a night sleeping outside. The ability to make coffee in the morning is key, for me, but it isn't a deal-breaker. I've made a project of doing this at least once a month from now on. It's a good antidote for much of modern life's problems.

I just joined to get the next print copy of The Bikepacking Journal in hard copy!
I have not actually been bikepacking yet, but hoping to try it out this season.
