In the spirit of vulnerability and missed connection... seeking to learn if anyone knows someone by the name of Chandler who was hiking near the Wallowas over the 4th of July weekend - Mirror Lake via the East Lostine River? He was hiking with three other people and packing a fishing pole.

He stopped for a quick chat as my buddy and I were leaving the lake (15 miles in one day!) and, I thought to myself, "I'd love to date someone like Chandler." Well, lady luck was on our side as we ran into Chandler a few days later in Pendleton Woolen Mills in Pendleton! The problem is... I am shy... and couldn't get the nerve to share my number. You miss all of the shots you don't take, I know.

So, if anyone knows Chandler, who may or may not live around Portland, please let him know there is someone who would love to see him again. And, if he has a partner, I hope this post at least makes him/them feel good.

Thank you in advance for your kindness. More details can be found in my post on Facebook's PortlandHikers group.

Ever hopeful,
Sleepless in Portland
