July 28 - Leaving Mt. Hood
Today is my baby sister's birthday! Happy Birthday (a bit late since I'm out of cell service). I love my little sister and want to thank her for helping me.
I had a good conversation with Betsy early this morning. She's busy with the grandkids, lunch, attractions, etc. She's also keeping the kitty going by feeding her yogurt under the bed because the poor cat is afraid she'll be thrown in the car again soon. LOL
Shortly after I spoke with Betsy I joined some hiker trash friends for breakfast at the Mt. Hood Timberline Lodge. The buffet is highly regarded by the PCT community as the best on the trail. And I would concur. They had everything from continental fare to ham and eggs. Fresh fruit, pastries, berry smoothies, a frittata, sausage patties and sausage links, potatoes, and breakfast breads rounded out my plate. CaveMoney took with him a waffle for the trail. Sarah, Ken, Jill, and Sandy were also there. I think the waitress was glad to see us go, even though we did tip well.
I started down the trail at 10am and arrived exhausted hours later some distance north. The landscape was nothing short of scary!
Breakfast
One floor of the lodge.
Lots of loose dirt to navigate around.
Fun bridge. It bounced!
Not sure if we can eat these.
