Well, after a great couple of days with the entire Audette clan, including our boys, celebrating our niece Emma's wedding, we got down to business doing a "pre-packing" for our month-long backpacking trip that begins on Tuesday. We've been in a hotel for the last three nights for the family festivities, so this morning we brought in all of our camping gear, food & supplies from the van and spread it out all over the room to sort, organize, and generate the various lists of items we'll need to pick up, things we need to test to make sure they are still charged or working, things we'll need to add in at the last minute, etc.
As I write this, we are charging our computers, phone, kindle, and the new battery packs that go with the new solar charging system we will be using for the first time on this trip. Tomorrow we will do a last trip to the grocery store, work through our lists, pack our re-supply box and bring it to the post office to send ahead to the post office in Waitsfield, VT where we will pick it up half-way through the trip. I plan to post one last blog entry tomorrow and then will post as I'm able from the trail, every 5-6 days or so when we have Internet (when we pass through a town, on top of a mountain, etc.). Until tomorrow....
