Day 123 - WASHINGTON!!!!!......well almost :-)

Mile 2125.1 to Cascade Locks - 19.3 miles. Distance from Mexico - 2144.4 miles

I'm camped on the banks of the Columbia River at Cascade Locks - on the other bank is Washington so that's close enough. Tomorrow we walk over the Bridge of Gods and voila!!!

In the book/movie Wild, Cheryl Strayed (played by Reece Witherspoon), finishes her odyssey here. Actually she did a 1000 mile section of the trail from Tehachapi but skipped the Sierras.
We are doing the usual chores including a resupply but its nice to have a break. Cascade Locks is named after the rapids & locks that were here before they dammed the Columbia River downstream.
This morning we came down the spectacular Eagle Creek with its waterfalls, deep pools & ravines. The highlight is the trail that goes through a tunnel under a waterfall - pretty damn cool :-)

There were lots of hikers out and I don't blame them...it's a fantastic trail.
So Washington....here we come.....Weta
