We made it to Bend but not as planned. We had planned on com­ing into town from San­ti­am Pass, where the PCT cross­es the road. With the snow­storm a few days ago drop­ping one to two feet of fresh snow and an ice/rain crust on top of it the trav­el has been real­ly slow. In the same num­ber of hours we are hik­ing 30–35 miles, we have only been able to cov­er 10–15 miles and about a mile an hour. About 2/3 of the way through the sec­tion we knew we did­n’t have enough food and were unpre­pared. We had mailed our snow­shoes from south­ern Wash­ing­ton to Bend since we weren’t using them. The snow­storm hit and we were slog­ging and need­ed taller gaiters to keep our feet warm. We made the call to post­hole out on a side road to the high­way. Our hik­ing friends here have been very hos­pitable. We are tak­ing a day off regroup­ing and will head back or to recon­nect that sec­tion tomorrow.
