About

I'm Dave, aka Draw Play Dave, the guy behind the football cartoon site TheDrawPlay. While most of my life is football jokes, not all of it is, and this is a place for me to just sit back and record some of the things I get up to when I go outside.

I'm an avid hiker living in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Portland. Most weekends during non football season I get going (usually with my girlfriend) and we just pick a spot we haven't done before and try to explore it. When I say "we) in a post it usually just refers to me and her.

The camera used for most of the photos is just a Canon Rebel T3 with the standard starter lens. I'm not a pro photographer, barely amateur, but I like to think I get a good one once in a while.

I have a flickr of what I think are my best photos here

I have made a google map of the hikes I've done so far. Not all on the map (namely the coast and PDX hikes) have been recorded here yet.

I get most of my hiking information from
Portland Hikers Guide
NW Hiker
And Scott Cook's Curious Gorge guidebook.
