    Default PCT Days in Cascade Locks and a Train Ride Home

    So on this trip myself and a good buddy of my Directionally Challenged hitched from an undisclosed location out to Cascade Locks, OR for the Pacific Crest Trail Days. There was free camping on an island in the Columbia River, free beer, a raffle of gear, a movie, slide show, and a bunch of gear manufacturer showing off there latest and greatest items.

    After all was said and done with the PCT Days event we waited for a train to give us a ride home, after about a 6 hour wait we bag an EOT (End Of Train) ride home.

    If you can believe it after all these year this is my first EOT ride and it was fucking rad as hell!!!

    Also I end up shooting a good amount of video on this trip so if y'all want to check it out.

    In that second pic it looks like there's a 12 year old in a plaid shirt holding a cup of beer. What's going on there?
    Matt Pist told the Trainhopping Community to go fuck themselves. Well I say the 900+ Threads/9,000+ Posts (#1 Topic) say the same to him!
