[pct-l] Vacationing with a thru-hiker?



>From Road 242 (McKenzie Pass) to Timberline Lodge and
then onto Cascade Locks is a nice hike. Can probably
fly into Bend, Oregon but there is no regular bus
service to McKenzie Pass. Maybe find a shuttle service
in town? At Cascade Locks you will have to hitch to
the next town west to catch the Greyhound Bus to
Portland.
