OK, I’m finally back on trail. Even though the mess yesterday cost me some time, I’ll still get to Cascade Locks on the 20th.

What a long and useless day…

I had a small breakfast at the motel, and headed out to get supplies for the day at Safeway’s. I finally signed up to get a Safeway card. It took 2 minutes. I also sent my bounce box to Cascade Locks - last bounce for the trip! The plan today was to hike only 18 miles to the next road crossing, and then get back into Bend for the night. I booked a room for at the Dunes motel, which is cheaper, and does have a laundry room.

Going into town day. I was still not motivated to get to too early, and only left camp by 7:20. I had 20 miles to hike out to the highway.

It was fun being warm and dry in my tent last night, while it was rainy outside. But it only rained at the beginning of the night, and by morning my tent was mostly dry.
