Timberline Trail, Day 3

Mon, 08 Aug 2005 23:59:59 -800

Day No. 4 finds us slumbering in a gravelly canyon at the 28.3 mile point. That
means that before the day ends, we hope to hike the remaining twelve miles all
the way back to Timberline Lodge. This involves climbing up Lamberson Spur,
down Gnarl Ridge, through a whole lot of forest, across several nasty rivers,
underneath the ski lifts that are southeast of Mt. Hood, through a final canyon,
and then a huge climb all the way back to the Lodge and my car. "Surely we can
do that! All we have to do is wake up early enough!" shouted the group.
