On the Road Again - 2105.0 mi to Campo

Got back on the trail today after a long odyssey of public and private transportation. Parents drove us to the ferry terminals, took the 7:55am ferry to Seattle followed by a 9:45am train to Portland (which was 1 hour late), where we had a bus/taxi take us up to Timberline Lodge on the southern slopes of Mt. Hood, finally arriving around 5:00pm.













We picked up our supply package at Timberline, had a great dinner at the bar in the lodge, then hiked about 2.5 miles to a nice wooded campsite. Trails look open and snow free from here! Wonder what sort of mileage we’ll make when we don’t have snow or major route finding problems?

We had a pitcher of root beer at the lodge. Talk about suger shock! My tummy was not thanking me. It was a long day to get back to the trail. I feel excited and also hesitant. I am really praying for no snow.
