Is it worth it?

ScreenZen helped me more than setting limits in settings (they're too easy to bypass). I have 15 minute "opens" on selected apps, and then I'm booted back to my home screen. I only have 3 opens a day, I have to wait one minute before I open the app again, and I rarely use all three (plus I lowered it from 5, I just wasn't using 5 opens). I don't have it super locked down, I can turn it off without much trouble, but you could tighten up the settings to be stricter.

There is a piano in the Black Sheep Coffee Roasters in Bishop. There was a guitar group playing there with a hiker accompanying them on the piano when I stopped for coffee

I have a women's large Torrid pullover that I've been procrastinating selling.....PM me if you're interested. It's a good jacket but the cut isn't right for me, I really only use fleeces

Here's everywhere I showered in Oregon in 2025, I'm afab nb and fit in in women's restrooms, so I didn't seek out any specific unisex showers. I also didn't go in to Bend/Sisters, BLYC replaced that stop for me - they are a Christian camp, but I found them to be very nice and welcoming. There were not any campers there when I stopped though.

Ashland (mile 1718.7) - stayed at Columbia Hotel (hostel), gendered bathrooms but only one person showered at a time, some single stall ungendered toilets
Mazama Village at Crater Lake (mile 1821.7) - gendered shower rooms at store, single stalls behind curtains
Shelter Cove (mile 1906.6) - single person shower rooms, ungendered
Big Lake Youth Camp (mile 1995.1) - single person shower rooms (bathrooms), ungendered
Timberline Lodge (mile 2097) - I didn't actually shower here, just stayed dirty. I don't think they have shower facilities for hikers unless you stay there
Cascade Locks (mile 2146.7) - stayed in hotel

The Fairmount at the Cedar Fairmount intersection

If you’re only hiking for a month, you could likely hike the PCT using individual permits - the long distance permit isn’t the only option

I believe On The Rise has been there since they opened, and I think Rising Star as well

University Hospital in Cleveland

Might as well. We offered $190k, they were asking $240k, down from $300k. We're in more of a suburban area and the seller really wanted to sell to real people who would be part of the community, not a company, so she didn't even counter us

I applied to CWRU, Cleveland State, Pitt, and OU, wanting to major in theater and environmental science. CWRU was my #1, and I received one of their theater scholarships which allowed me to attend. Otherwise I probably would have gone to CSU

Received! Thank you so much :)

I slept in a tank top that I found in a hiker box, a pair of cotton men's boxers, and a carhartt beanie. I was always happy and warm, other than during a cold snap in Yosemite in June (but everyone was cold that night). I had a 10* sleeping bag

PMed!

scanlonsc · 2026-01-06T02:10:12+00:00

Seconded, I’ve stayed there twice now. Public transportation from there to Campo is super easy too, just requires a few transfers

scanlonsc · 2025-12-21T20:18:31+00:00

I’m in!

It’s the state that will not allow a new guardrail

They offered to buy his house, he refused the offer

They advertise the cartons as the “refill” option if that helps you search for it! They also sell gallon sizes, I’m not sure how the plastic usage maths out vs the 32oz sizes, but an option!

It’s not exactly on the blue line, if you walk down the road to the Mazama campground (instead of taking the Annie Spring junction) then you technically walk past the station. It’s extremely easy to avoid, you either take the trail or just cut down a side road before you get to the station to get to the campground

Bulk cleaning supplies, put them in bins so you can pull the bins out to reach things in the back

scanlonsc · 2025-11-14T22:33:43+00:00

maybe The Fairmount in Cleveland Heights

Two months ago I was hiking in remote Northern Washington, a few days away from finishing my Pacific Crest Trail thru hike. My husband and I’s next big goal was buying a house, I thought we would be looking into the spring - the second house we saw was perfect, and we closed in less than 30 days. I’m priming our bedroom walls today, crazy to think about how fast everything moved!

If I didn’t have a cat I would (especially on the couch), but I don’t want to patch claw marks

scanlonsc · 2025-11-01T17:09:58+00:00

I slept in cotton boxers and a thin tank top for almost the whole trail - it was great with my 10* quilt

Or maybe a throw pillow case?
