After the Goat Rocks Wilderness Savitt and Patsy hiked with us for one more day in Washington, then we packed up the Scion with five of us and gear and headed to Cascade Locks. Their good friend Paige from Portland came out to pick them up from there.
The next day Paige came to the rescue again. In the morning we discovered a flat tire; Paige picked up Charissa from the Portland airport and brought her out to us while we got the tire repaired. Savitt and Patsy joined them for one last get together.
Paige, Mike, Patsy, Savitt
Savitt and Patsy revealed just how important company is for Cindy. The more the merrier definitely applies. Fortunately we have Mike with us until the end of October, while others will join us as well. Fellow CDT hiker Kirk Haselton will join us in November. Fellow CDT hiker Dave Kinney is exploring coming out as well. Savitt and Patsy may come out to hike with us as well.
Hey! It’s not too late to join in the fun! Come on out and join us! Within the next week we will be filling in some missing pieces in
Oregon. The first part of October will find us filling in some stretches in Northern California, then it’s on to a continuous hike south in Southern California until near Thanksgiving. See you along the way!
I would like to second what Kirk has written and say, “If you’re thinking about joining Cindy, Kirk, Charissa, and Mike—don’t think twice. Go!” Dave and I had a fabulous experience. Cindy is an amazing woman and I already miss her smiles, laughter, and warm spirit.
Thanks Patsy, it was such a pleasure having you and Savitt join us. Extend our thanks once again to Paige coming to the rescue!
