The weather was unstable and the night before it rained hard for OR. With my sinuses still not back to normal the thought of getting caught in rain far from home was not high on my list. Plus, after a couple illnesses, my conditioning is not quite normal, and a Ridgeline Trail<\/a> conditioning test seemed legit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not pass the test, completely … I ran out of gas on the third Spencer Top and had to turn around at the stone steps. My goal was 20+ miles and 3 Spencer Tops – close, but no cigar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Route<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Started at Spring Blvd TH with headlamp on for about 20 minutes. From there to Spencer Top, then down to S. Willamette TH and back to Spencer Top; then down to Blanton Ridge TH back to Spencer Top (but only to start of stone stairs), then back to Spring Blvd TH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
