The morning hike started briskly with a long downhill stretch so that we felt sure we would do another ‘tenner’. However at about 9:30 we came across a group of hikers collected around 3 large containers. One had bananas and apples, another a collection of packets of noodles, a container of hard boiled eggs and some sweets. The third container was a rubbish bin. Trail Magic! We enjoyed the unexpected treat of fresh fruit and eggs as well as a chance to chat with some other hikers.<\/p>\n

We have noticed a number of these huge slugs while hiking.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today’s challenge was a 10 mile uphill climb with a long water carry. Although the weather was warm and sunny, fortunately the path was mostly in shade.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the top of the climb on Huckleberry Mountain we were rewarded with views south to Mt Hood and north to Mt Adams.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the way today we passed in total 48 south bound hikers. One, Clams, we recognised as having seen a number of times in the early sections of California. We chatted for a bit before continuing on to our campsite.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More huckleberries! <\/em><\/p>\n

Another milestone achieved – today we passed 1500 miles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
