We're trying to weigh all the food and to stuff everything into our packs and jam in a bunch of pinochle at the same time (we're getin' old dammit). Oh and we're moving all our stuff to Chico. I'm totally stressed but no else seems to be! Every round of backpack stuffing I shed a tear and toss aside something I previously deemed essential. And yet somehow we still have a glamorous rock star amount of stuff. I've also spent a few weeks dehydrating food like a fiend. It's part a sheerly frugal move and part because I'm a princess and want tasty/healthy food that's not PB&J. For 100$ we've managed to assemble about 2&1/2 weeks of food to bring, though it weighs in at a hefty 16lbs ... not including the box of Clifbars and oatmeal we have stuffed into Cody's pack. Hope customs isn't too strict because we've kind of far exceeded the limit!
And we're ready to go...I hope! Catching the 2am train to Portland tonight :)
