Sorry this is a day late, but we had a few very busy days in Portland. We left Cascade Locks a little late, around 8 instead of 7:30. It didn't matter too much; we only had a 40 mile day into Portland, and we had to meet Barbara and Bruce (two alumni club members who led us into town) at the 22 mile mark at 11:30. We took our time, and stopped at several large waterfalls. One of them is the second largest year-round fall in the U.S. The meeting point was at the top of a large hill, so once we met the alumni it took us very little time to get the rest of the way into town. The Alumni club threw us a barbaque lunch, and then we went to kennedy school for showers. We got to the church at around 6. Most people went out for dinner. We also got a HUGE donation from Panera. People spent time until they went to bead eating.
