[pct-l] Resupply packages at Timberline Day Lodge

[g l]

Yep- gave them plenty of room to stop or pull over, and always at the on ramps, not the off ramps.  Also tried at some side streets.  Nothin'.  All I know, is I hitched along the whole AT without the slightest difficulty, and hitched 4 times while in OR a month ago.  No problem, except for Portland, which was impossible.  Once, near Gov Camp, I wasn't even hitching....just walking along a (snowy) (deserted) campground road and a couple guys in a pickup stopped and OFFERED me a ride......unsolicited!  I road in the back, as usual, and I was fine with that.  How dangerous could anyone be while riding in the back of a pickup at 50mph?

Anyway, now that I've vented, I feel better..............next topic!!!!

 Yep!  I believe it was the 205.  But I was standing up,    clean, not asking for money, neatly dressed, carrying a new (ish) backpack,    which was also clean(ish), holding a sign that said "SALEM"

 On my folded up tyvek ground cloth, I have in large bold letters, "Hiker to  Town" and "Hiker to Trail"  It seemed to help and one guy specifically  mentioned that's why he stopped.  The main thing is you need to give them  room to pull over.
