Dave spent Saturday, August 28th, camping again at Cascade Locks. Seems while enjoying Trail Days, Dave bought raffle tickets. The raffle started at 4:30 and ended around 6:30. Dave decided to stay the night with Zero, Fire Marshall, and Redman.
Although Dave was looking forward to getting back on the trail today, and regretting that he had not left yesterday, he was rather lucky in the raffle! He said that he won over $300 worth of items, including bladders for his Camelbaks and some certificates. I'll get a full list of items later. He didn't want to talk too long - the trail was not calling his name, but shouting it!
Zero was interviewed yesterday by the Oregonian Newspaper. The picture used, however, is of Fire Marshall and Girl Friday.

The guys have uphill to hike today and the weather looks like rain. Dave has gotten rid of most of his clothing (boxing and sending it forward to Trout Lake due to weight) and is not looking forward to being wet without being able to dry off.
The best part of staying at Cascade Locks last night was that Dave had a chance to rest. He's feeling strong and ready to tackle Washington. Look out Washington, here comes Dave!
