Here is my list; I am finally done packing (about 50 pounds, not counting water). With the trike and the rider, we are talking 275 pounds to haul..... maybe i can leave a pair of socks behind.
I could live without a lot of this. Some is going to get sent home at the first handy post office.....that is how it always goes.
If my mom sneaks a few railroad spikes into my pack this year, I am going to be ticked. She thinks it is funny.....it is not...especially a week later when you find it on a hot day after a huge climb. We all have been the victim of her twisted sense of humor. Here is an old picture of Andy after falling prey. Not even the children are safe. I suppose that is still better than the time John found an anvil in his pack. I think mom was innocent on that one, wouldn't you agree Chuck? ;)
