Kaiten, I'm also from Oregon. Silver Falls is a nice place to hike...
My Longest was about 16 miles, at high elevation (about 8,000 feet above sea level, where the air is thinner). I'm planning on shattering that record this summer, with one of two possible hikes I'm planning.
Plan A: Hike the "crater rim trail" around Paulina Lake in central Oregon. Total distance: about 28 miles. I plan to do the whole thing in one day.
Plan B: Hike all the way around Mt. Hood on the "Timberline" trail. Total Distance: about 40 miles. I'd need 3 days I think for this one, because I'll be carrying alot of camping gear with me, that stuff gets heavy after the first 5 miles or so...
I'm not sure which I'm going to do yet, depends on what my friends want to do. I don't want to hike that far by myself, I learned the value of the buddy-system in the Boy Scouts...
Most amazing jew boots
