This is what ended my trip
24th Day Monday Aug 20.
Last night we had dinner in the main dining room of Timberline lodge. We thought it would be a dinner buffet but it was a high end white table cloth limited menu cuisine with nothing under $ 30 but we went for it anyway. Larry and Joanne went with the chicken but I decided splurge and ordered the Scallops. That was a bad mistake, by the time we got back to our room my stomach was rumbling and I was getting abdominal cramps. I spent the rest of the night on the pot as the Scallops worked their way thorough my system. By this morning I was greatly dehydrated and not feeling at all like hiking. Since Joanne had to be done with the hike by Aug 23 she elected to go on by herself and I rode back to Springfield with Larry. So due to the fires in southern Oregon and food poisoning I only got 324.1 miles in this trip but for a 75 year old I guess thats enough.
