I got to Sisters OR and resupplied. Then Matthew arrived from Redmond via San Francisco. I called a trail angel, Jim, who gave us a 15 mile ride to the trail. At the trailhead was Coppertone giving out Root Beer Floats! We said no thanks (we had just eaten lunch) and hiked in 3 miles through massive lava fields to our campsite. It is so so nice to have Matthew here – Woohoo! We are back on the trail and ready to start tomorrow.
You skipped a root beer float? What’s up with that?
So glad everything worked out. Wish I could be there. Can’t believe you guys didn’t spend that first night in Sisters. From Google Satellite view, looks like you guys slept on the side of a volcano!
You both look so good and I can tell by your smile Bri that you are so happy to have Matthew with you. But I’m with Janet I’d at least have split a Root Beer Float together!
We were stuffed from eating lots of food in Sisters OR
