Hike continues through South Coast

Al LePage is no stranger to the Oregon Coast. In 2000, he retraced the historic route of mountain man Jedediah Smith along the South Coast, traveling 200 miles as a Millennium Expedition event on the same dates it was first done in 1828. The National Coast Trail Association director dressed in replica clothing and carried equipment of the time period. He’s also retraced all the 1805-06 coastal routes of Lewis and Clark, in Washington and the north Oregon Coast, and walked the first historic 1826 coastal expedition route of Hudson Bay Company’s Alexander Roderick McLeod on the Central Coast.
