Greetings after a long absence! My Oregon posts will be a bit brief as I’m trying to squeeze three of them into a single trail stop here in Ashland, the final trail stop on Oregon. After crossing the Bridge of the Gods from Washington, the hiking has been considerably easier, with Oregon living up to its reputation as the easiest of the three PCT states. Less climbing, less snow and a less challenging footpath compared to its neighbor to the north, the contrast has been both welcome and enjoyable, a sort of a break between the tough Northern Cascades and the equally daunting Sierras of California on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I ended up hiking most of Oregon alone, I also enjoyed the occasional company of Northstar (a hiker I first got to know in Snoqualmie, Washington) and a group of hikers including Toodles, Toes, Moose and Squidgy as we leapflogged back and forth down the trail. In the past readers of my blog have remarked favorably on hearing examples of the various trail names of hikers I meet. As such, I kept track of a few of the many names of hikers I encountered so far on the PCT, which I present here for your perusal: Sandman, Ninja, Blueprint, Pololo, Topolito, Black Dog, Smash, Seeker, Grace, Victor, Horsepower, Hammer, Labrat, Rerun, Attrition, Walkie Talkie, Buckle, Pocket Guac, Mousetrap, One Step, Abe Lincoln, Roadside, Honest Abe, Baywatch, Hobo Baggins, Ghost Crusher, Beast, Forget-Me-Not, Punisher (a nice woman from the Iron Range), Ziplock, Flipper, Sunny, Second Chance, Slab, Slurb, Miyagi, Jazzy, High Five, Honey Moomoo, Stinky Cheese, Sticky Buns, Bag Hands, Sippy, Presto, Twig, Happy hour, Wolverine, Broken Arrow, Crunchy, Crispy, Muggle, Crusher and Bubbles. When I first entered Oregon I was seeing 5-10 Nobos (Northbound hikers) per day. By the time I completed the final few days, I was seeing upwards of a hundred every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
