On our way to breakfast at the Black Bear Diner, we ran into Magnet who was staying with friends at the hotel next door. We chatted with them a bit, and then got some food. Our bounce box was waiting at the post office so we hurried up there and grabbed it, then took a Lyft back to the room. Having the perks of a bigger city, like Lyft, is a topic that comes up more often now while we hike. I think we’re both excited to get back to some sort of normal life off-trail. Just one more state to go. New shoes were waiting for us at REI, so we walked over to get those. Stopped at Immersion Brewing on the way back. Tried to arrange a bus up to Cascade Locks, but everything was full, or would cost hundreds of dollars. Marie was able to get ahold of a trail angel who agreed to take us, though she seems a bit odd. We will find out tomorrow. Still needing our resupply for after Cascade Locks, we stopped at Safeway and got the rest of our food. After some other town chores we walked up to a Vietnamese place to get dinner to bring back to the room. On the way there we saw Hermit, and saw him again on the way back. He was getting Taco Bell, which also sounded good.
