Hiked a 29 mile day today in even more leisure than the last. Oregon is truly a place of easy mileage. I can't imagine what kind of miles I'd be getting if I were pushing for them... But instead of doing that I started hiking at 7 and took an hour long nap at the first water source which also happened to be a pretty well built cabin with a wood stove.
After that I hiked pretty well and cruised into the next water spot where I was thinking of camping at 4:30. This was too early to camp, but I cooked dinner and hiked on with a really nice woman named Megan and her dog. We talked a bit about environmental action as that is her line of work, and it was good medicine to be walking with a dog; especially after waking up this morning missing my dog.
We are camped together, but her schedule is a little slower than mine and I'm not sure if we'll hike on together tomorrow morning. Sometimes friends are short on the trail.
