First Trip on the Trail (Benton Mackaye)

Well, we leave for our first backpacking trip in the morning.  It's very surreal, and our planning process has been quite discombobulated, but here is our lesson thus far:

1.  We have NO idea what we're doing!!

Normally someone in our position would include weights of, well, everything.  We failed at that.

Many people would breakdown what they are wearing and what they're carrying.  We failed at that, too.

We are, however, excelling at being excited, and nervous, and excited!

It looks like rain tomorrow and Saturday, so It'll surely be a shock and a learn on the fly immersion into backpacking 101, but we're going for it!  Updates and photos to follow!
