After my first night in the woods, today would be the day I would tackle my first steep incline. Traveling up to over 5000' I made it over the Willamette Pass. I met an ODOT worker on my way up the mountain who followed me to a tunnel and let me know of a cool camping spot. I made a stop at the Saltcreek falls before heading to my next camping location. It was right next to a small stream. My first encounter with a rain storm took place during the evening, luckily I had stayed up late enough to see some lightening and put the rain cover over the tent for the evening.
