I just did another 60 miles, putting my total around 220. I&#8217;m staying at (I don&#8217;t know how else to describe it) a trailer park in Cathlamet. It was cheap, had a hot shower, and it&#8217;s the last stop before I take a ferry across to Oregon, where I&#8217;ll have barely 30 miles till Astoria. I&#8217;m planning to stop there and did the hostel, and hopefully do some laundry. <\/p>\n<p>Today I had a few especially long hills; one looked like this, and it seemed to keep going forever:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/totallyshould.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120721-200814.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/totallyshould.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120721-200814.jpg\" alt=\"20120721-200814.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I got to the top, I saw Mt St Helens!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/totallyshould.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120721-201244.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/totallyshould.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120721-201244.jpg\" alt=\"20120721-201244.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As I was standing by the side of the road, a couple of old timers in a pickup pulled over to ask if I was broken down. I thanked them, and let them know I was just taking pictures. <\/p>\n<p>They took a look, and the one guy said, &#8220;You can&#8217;t see the top of it.&#8221; I really wasn&#8217;t sure if he was joking, or if the clouds were that low. <\/p>\n<p>After descending to the river, I saw craploads and craploads of blackberries.
