2095-2119 (24.15)
We both struggled to sleep through the night as our shelter flapped in the wind and sand from Mt. Hood blew into our eyes. We slept in after the restless night and were greeted by some tourists walking by us meanwhile the chairlift started running over our head. It was time to pack up and get moving! We came across a lot of people walking the timberline trail in the opposite direction that stopped us to ask questions. By lunch time we were realizing how few miles we had made but continued to enjoy our last full day in Oregon. We camped with some aspiring triple crown hikers who chatted on about the gear they were hoping to use for future AT and CDT hikes.
Day 68
2119- Cascade Locks
We took the Eagle Creek Alternate down to Cascade Locks and passed some amazing waterfalls through the Gorge. The whole day was beautiful and once we arrived in town we got a hitch to the grocery store where we picked up supplies and made out way down the street to our motel. It was a bit further than we expected and we ended up doing laundry in the sink but it was nice to have one last cozy bed before the push on to Canada!
