Thursday, August 13th, 2009- Sitting at the Char Burger in Cascade Locks. #
- Waiting for a ride to Portland. #
- Going to get dry and clean. #
- Swap out some gear and then head out for more. #
- Plans have changed. #
- Time to find a place to rest and regroup. #
- Then stash my truck somewhere and rejoin the trail. #
- It's hard to travel light when you have a truck with you. #

Sunday, August 9th, 2009- Drizzly day today. #
- Another drizzly day. #
- Wore my raincoat and trash bag skirt all day #
- It was sort of cold. #
- The Ollalie Lake store is still closed.
# - Lots of huckleberries today #
- Should make Timberline tomorrow #
- That way my feet will feel good in the morning. #
- But good for me the mosquito swarms are behind me. #
- Tomorrow I will be warm, dry and eating hot food. #
- But tonight is a little damp and chilly. #
- But it looks to be a good day. #
- Breakfast buffet and then on to gear drying. #
- Timberline has 25 cent boot dryers #
- I wonder how they work for tent drying #
- Laying down for the night. #
- My tent is wet but I have hopes that it will be dry by morning. #
- I have pitched my tent so my feet are up hill. #
- The zipper on my tent broke. #
- This incline is so severe, it's like standing on my head. #
- Timberline in 15 miles. #
- I'm meeting people there tomrrow #
- So I guess I could lay here for a long while. #
- A hot beverage would be perfect right now. #
- Mornings like this make me wish I had brought my stove. #
- As hoped for, my tent has dried out this morning. #
- Hey from Timberline. #
- It's a madhouse here. #
- I found the pizza place here. It's hidden. #
- got my stuff all laid out, trying to dry it. #
- And they're booked full. Amazing #
- I'm going to stealth it. #
- And be here for breakfast buffet in the morning. #
- A dorm room at Timberline cost 115 dollars! #
- Wet night. #

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009- Sitting in the grocery store in Sisters #
- There are too many choices. #
- So, I got a beverage and am thinking. #
- I notice the Best Western has a Vacancy. Hmmm #
- My feet are campaigning for a rest. #
- The rest of me is too. #
- The hardest part of the trail is getting out of town. #
- Heading back to the trail. #
- Back on the trail! #
- Laying in a meadow, eating smoked salmon candy. #
- There were Snickers and Pepsi in a cooler on the trail. #
- Good day. I'm happy to be lying in this meadow instead of a motel. #
- It's a chilly morning. #
- So lying here in my sleeping bag feels nicer then usual. #
- Nice day but lots of blow downs. #
- Probably won't be bothered by horses and mountain bikes. #
- That's why they should leave some of blow downs. #

Monday, August 3rd, 2009- Food at Elk Lake. #
- Time to hit the trail, again. #
- I wore my headnet and mittens most of the day. #
- Tomorrow will be a better day. I'm creating it now. #
- Looks like a smoldering lighting stike in Three Sisters Wilderness. #
- By Wiickiup Plain and Le Conte Crater #
- Looks like it doesn't have much to burn. #
- But maybe someone should notify the fire watch. #
- I'm only able to text here. #

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009- Worst day ever for mosquitos. #
- They win. But now I am safe inside my tent. #
- Along with about 20 mosquitos #
- The water is right outside my tent. But no way am I going out there. #
- I have done over 200 miles so far.:) #
- Met southbounder Soxs today but too many sketters to talk. #
- Everyday since Crater Lake I see "Burning Daylight" and a French guy. #
- Tomorrow I should make Elk Lake Resort. #
- Brave me left my tent and got water. #
- Now I have a tent full of mosquitos again. #
- Everytime I unzip my tent the zipper breaks. #
- But so far I'm able to fix it each time. #
- No zipper would be a big challenge tonight. #
- I need a new tent. #
- Laying in my tent envisioning a lovely day of painfree hilking without mosquitos #
- To the tune of a million mosquitos buzzing outside my tent. #

- It's morning. #
- The mosquitos are up and buzzing. #
- It's hard to get up. #
- My bliss is in this tent this morning. #
- I should lay here for awhile more. #

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009- Hoping to make the breakfast buffet at Crater Lake tomorrow. #
- I met Billygoat today. I met him last year too. #
- He says he is trying for 20,000 miles on the PCT in one decade. #
- I think I pitched my tent on a rodent hole. #
- It's movements are keeping me awake. #
- Maybe it's a big bug. #
- Or a fairy. #
