Another day or two and I’ll be done with the Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Yep, this is the home stretch. I had considered going into California.

I went down to the Mazama Village general store for tea. By 8:00 am I was ready to go. There is little water for the next 20 miles so I filled up with 4 liters.
