July 30

We were both exhausted after our day and agreed to sleep in. We left camp at 10:00 am and we were feeling good. There were section hikers again. Three groups were doing all of Washington and two had hiked from Crater Lake. There were also a few day hikers as we past a trailhead that was only 3 miles away. Try as we might, neither if us could yogi any food from anyone on the trail. I had reception at lunch time for a few minutes and coordinated some logistics for my zero in Cascade Locks. I've already been invited for Saturday night and Sunday morning, and I cannot wait to get there.

I'm feeling a little sick tonight, but at this point it's nothing serious. Hopefully some rest cures what Emergen-C doesn't. I did have my favorite meal tonight, and have decided to call it "Noodles Flajolets" (pronounced flej o lays). I decided it needed a fancy French name because it is so gourmet, so I asked Louis how to say "beans" in French. With a name like that it could be a meal I cook for a date sometime.
