Jump into the Pacific Northwest like a (particularly weird) native

4 stars

To get to the Pacific Northwest, grab one of those "F" travel series. But to get to know the Pacific Northwest, pick up this Wildsam Field Guide. It won't help you much with the day-to-day, but it will add the backstory that brings you into the woods.

Interviews with Agent Cooper and Cheryl Strayed? Check. Blurbs on how to speak Lumberjack and why flannel is key to the regional ethos? Check. Lots of bite-sized pieces of history - even an essay on the area's most famous hijacker, who parachuted into the wilderness from an airborne 727 with $200,000 in government $20s strapped to his body.

Follow one of the tour itineraries, or more likely, find a couple of fascinating towns and add them to your own.
