2 days...

Dieter and I just had a meeting with Brian Wilson who a decade ago guided a few people into Harvey Lake. He confirmed a few ideas I had and alerted us to high bear activity in certain areas, and where there are some trails to help us along the way.

We weighed my pack, 55 lbs... not bad... it will probably top out at 59 lbs after I add the rest of the food, water, and reading book. I'm satisfied with this weight... beats last year's 62 lbs. My preliminary pack job looked horrible so I'll have to repack as everything is spilling out. Oh well, it usually takes three pack jobs to get it right. At this time I weigh 162 lbs... hopefully that will drop to.
