We are with some trail angels who are feeding us. We walked from 555.6 today. About 23-24 miles, especially including the hike back to Horse Camp (there are a number of places that are just “Horse Camp”).
We started before six after our hiker breakfast and using the restrooms in the lodge. We got great mileage.
Hiking SOBO out of Timberline was so much sandy trail. I had no idea the shoulders of Mount Hood were made of sand.
We then got into the trees and hiked a long “green tunnel” for miles. Second breakfast/lunch around ten. Our siesta around noon. I slept fairly well and we took 45 minutes.
Then we finished our day. Ended at 3:30 and looking for a place to camp. We got spotted by some horse people who invited us to dinner.
They were a delightful crew. The hamburgers were amazing. They recharged Win’s phone.
We finally said good night just before six. I’m ready to see if we can share an apple and then brush my teeth and then go to sleep.
