Due to wildfires the trail is closed by the US Forest Service from mile 2057 to 2082. As a result Matthew and I had to road walk about 20 miles. Although previous hikers have said that there was no water we learned that the people at Olallie Lake Resort have put water caches at various spots along the road. Thank you!

Next day: It was a long, boring, tedious road walk and our feet ached afterwards. The trail closure was obvious because at both ends it was blocked by plastic tape. Nearby the US Forest Service had copies of maps to follow. Matthew especially needed to rest after this walk.
