November 4

We slept really well with a roof over our heads. This morning we did our usual town chores which included groceries and, for me, a double breakfast at McDonald's. All of the package logistics worked out and everyone was able to get what they needed. Tiffany is a fantastic hiker host and will be a great trail angel for hikers in the future. She even put on a day pack and did a little hiking with our crew then sent us on our way south.

We left Highway 18 around noon and hiked full of town power until after dark. It was shortly after 7 when I walked into the Coon Creek Cabin shelter where we were to camp for the night. There, I met Skidaddle, a hiker I met while she was nobo just north of Crater Lake while hiking with my mom. She is camped at the cabin shelter too and hiking with her dad "Skidad". We talked about the day we met in Oregon and shared stories about our respective trips and are bedded down out of the wind. Unfortunately, this cabin has no window glass or doors so it is a little chilly.
