I woke up totally jazzed to get into Cascade Locks! Only 25 miles between me and delicious food!
We made quick progress over the relatively easy trail, excited to see our friends at PCT Days!
I was bummed to find a place I’d camped with Spikes on our way north totally bombed by hiker trash…
Then we reach The Bridge of the Gods! Peace out Washington! It took about 6 weeks, but we we’re finally done with this incredible state.
After crossing the bridge we swung by the market to grab some snacks before checking out PCT Days.
Honestly it was a bit overwhelming, but it was neat seeing so many hikers and gear vendors all in one place! We hung out for a bit, before heading over to the island where our friends were waiting. When we arrived I pitched my tent and caught up with Swift, Shit Gust, Bones, Biscuits, Shopping Cart and Summer.
My good friend Sam who recently moved to Portland drove over with her boyfriend to hangout. I met up with them at PCT Days before heading over to Thunder Island Brewery for some beer and grub.
Good times were had by all. It was great catching up! After they left I grabbed the largest ice cream ever before heading back to the island to hang with the crew.
The day of leisure, laughs and friends was a mighty treat after the grind we’d had getting through Washington.
Cheers!
