Alec!
How’s your summer
going man!? Things are going well on the trail. Today Karrie and I spent the
day in Ashland, Oregon. We stayed in the Ashland Hostel last night and I was
stoked to use their kitchen this morning to make omelets! This is the first
time I’ve been able to make an omelet since May, so I bought a load of veggies
from the local co-op and cooked up omelets for Karrie, me, and a bunch of
friends. I also found a tub of cookie dough in the “share” section of the
refrigerator and destroyed it for breakfast dessert. Wish you were here to have
some!
After breakfast
we packed up & prepared to hit the trail once more, but we needed to make
one last stop at the gear store for fuel. While we were there, a local named
Scott asked Karrie, Gut Feelin, and me if we were through hikers. When we told
him that we were, he told us we should go for a swim in his pool and cookout on
his grill. It was a beautiful day and Scott seemed like a great dude so we
decided to take him up on it. We had a blast.
After our swim we
probably should have started hiking again, but instead we met up with our
friends Minor, Action, and Only A Test where we saw a free show and somehow ate
our 5th meal of the day. Only A Test, gave us a ride back up to the
PCT, and after saying our goodbyes we night hiked a mile down trail and
collapsed for the night. We had not planned on spending the whole day in town,
but it was totally worth it.
If you ever find
yourself driving up I-5 toward Portland or Seattle I highly recommend a pit
stop in Ashland.
Keep on Keepin on
brother,
-Jake
