<p>Hello from beautiful timberline lodge! I finally caught up with some friends I met earlier on the thru hike in Bend and the northward movement has slowed but the fun shenanigan level has jumped up a notch or two. I think the zero day tally is almost equal the hiking day tally. After a quick reunion we finished the brewery tour I had already started and ended up spending an extra day recovering. After getting back on trail I had the first night of rain since the San gabriels in southern California. The next day was slowed by abundant ripe huckleberry bushes. The day after we rose early intending to make good time which we accomplished until being derailed by a fire and its accompanying detour. Anyways after a swim in a 34 degree spring called little crater lake we climbed halfway mt hood to historic timberline lodge preparing for our fancy buffet invasion. After clearing out the salmon, brisket and other delicious delicacies of the timberline lodge buffet we pool poached until we were asked to leave by security when a friendly guest I had met the day before came to our rescue buying us a round and claiming us as his guests. Eventually after running into a stargazing party and seeing Saturn and its picturesque rings we stumbled into a stealth camp above the lodge resting under the moonlit mount hood.
