On the Oregon Coast Tour, it is a good idea to bring hiking boots, water boots for wading in small streams(optional, but nice),long sleeve shirts(brushing up against some plants can cause rashes), long pants(same reason), a light to medium jacket(temperatures range in the 50's to low 70's in the summer), a raincoat(this is Oregon where rain can occur at anytime), a canteen or sports bottle, backpack, several small snacks(if you get the munchies and you are 10 miles out in nature), a hooded sweatshirt(this comes in handy more than you know to stop the wind), and a camera(with plenty of film...On this hike their will be stops along the way, but will be infrequent and unpredictable).  Don't pack too heavy.  Each day we will take the bus or van to each hike.  Bring only what you need on the hikes for the day, or you may get too tired too quickly toting all that stuff; especially up steep inclines.  You will be hiking about twenty miles on the three day trip and close to thirty miles on the five day trip.
