Day 104
Double zero!
At PCT days in Cascade Locks, OR
Staying on Thunder Island overnight during PCT days is not for everyone. We had decided to stay one night and then drive out of town to a trailhead for the second night. Frankly, I am not sure if anyone got much sleep last night on the island. It was lively with people playing games and hanging out late into the night hours. I was super tired so I watched some Netflix in the tent, then put in my ear plugs and went to sleep. This morning, everyone was quite much longer than a usually trail morning. I could sleep in longer and was grateful for that.
We had to strategize which booths and giveaways we would attend today. A lot of the gear companies at trail days were giving away cool things and we won some good stuff. It was fun to attend a presentation by a previous thruhiker and veteran. We even saw a friend and fellow AT class of 19 hiker!
After the whole thing ended, we hopped in the car to take off feeling powerful to actually have a form of transportation other than our feet! We hit up Taco Bell and than a random trailhead to sleep before returning the car in the morning.
