Tomorrow morning, John and I will put feet in those boots and be off
to hike and explore The Tetons. Everything we need for a week–
including our tent and sleeping bags–is in those sacks. Together they
weighed in at 71.25 pounds dry. We will each be toting 6.5 litres of
water daily which adds a tad over 14 pounds to each. That means we
will each be carrying a tad under 50 pounds on our backs as we ascend
2,800 feet to a peak altitude of 9,000 feet. And, did I mention the
bears?

Love, Mere
May the trail rise to meet you. May the wind be at your backpack, and may every curve reveal a stunning Nikon moment. Keep reviewing those bear tactics, and have a great time! J
