Day 46: Getting ready for Oregon

We had a day of preparation for commencing the Oregon section of the trail. That involved grocery shopping, sorting our food into parcels, posting off the supplies to different trail points and finally getting a ride to Cascade Locks. We were thankful for the assistance of OG’s brother in law who kindly drove us to the campground there. On the way we visited Multnomah Falls.

Our tent site is on a carpet of soft grass beside the Columbia River. We can hear traffic passing across the Bridge of the Gods which is where the PCT enters the state of Washington.

Occasionally we also hear the barking of a sea lion of mammoth proportions who has swum up from San Francisco to feed on the salmon.Tomorrow morning we will finally be back on trail heading south through Oregon state.
