Vortex oregon5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Since my Farout was slow it looked like I was walking on the correct trail. I took a wrong turn and saw Poca behind me on a turn up, since he didn’t tell me to turn back I kept on going and thought he had stayed behind to have a poop. We had to walk through a burnt forest and then up on a hill. It started to sound as if we had less misery doing Washington which was not just a little misery either. They seemed to have had a miserable time caught in wildfires, thunderstorms, floods and with a drunk trail angel. We met up with Rockslide and Princess Bubblefeet that had flipped to California and were on their way to Washington. The trail was passing through nice waterfalls, such as the huge Tunnel Fall that you have to pass from behind. I woke up by the sunlight and started hiking at 7. Day 39: Mile 7.9 at Eagle Creek Trail – Mile 534 Anything to keep the intruders away at night. Poca went around the spooky burned forest dressed in his mosquito net and looking like a horror movie character. The tentplace we found was in the middle of a burn area and so small we had to cowboy camp side by side. We managed somehow walk 7 or 8 miles before dark, though. ![]() It was hard to walk uphill having liters of beer in ones belly. We chose the more scenic Eagle Creek Trail that 99 % of hikers do. As Croc is hoping to get a Triple Crown one day he went on via the official PCT. Poca went and bought some beers for the road and we started hiking. ![]() After six rounds it was obvious we weren’t even going to hike the intended 10 miles of the day, but I insisted we won’t at least do another zero. So we went to The Ale House for pizzas and more beers. So the town vortex was real.Īfter a couple of hours me, according to the Chinese tradition, as the oldest person decided it was time to eat. And after that everybody else wanted to buy a round. Since everybody else had bought a round I asked if everybody want a second one and of course they did. And so we drank one more beer for the road. When I came back the crew had gotten sucked into the brewery again. We took a bus back to The Cascade Locks from a strange location.īack in the Locks I wanted to get a last ice cream before hitting the trail. We were sleeping for around 11 hours and had a breakfast in a typical American diner. Day 38: 7 miles: Hood River to mile 7.9 at Eagle Creek Trail The bizarre fruit dressed up Sweet’n’Juicy were performing at the brewery, but we took off early since our internal clocks tell us to sleep at 9 p.m. We had a zero day doing grocery shopping sending two resupply packages and doing laundry as well as eating and drinking with the Slim-O that is another SoBo group. ![]()
