Update 8/22/14

Update: crossed the Oregon/Washington border last week via the Bridge of the Gods over the Columbia River. Steeper terrain and wild berry season (blackberries, huckleberries, strawberries, marionberries) has made for slower hiking in Washington. Passed the 2300 mile mark after traversing the precipitous Knife's Edge ridge and emerging from the Goat Rocks Wilderness. Seems like the end of summer is here with colder temperatures and shorter days. Can't wait to get to Canada!

Update 8/10/14

Another temporary update: still on the move in Oregon; through the Three Sisters Wilderness and passing the 2000 mile mark last week then on through the Mount Washington and Mount Jefferson wildernesses. Now enjoying a beer at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood! Less than 50 miles to the Columbia River and Washington!
