I did my final training hike this afternoon. I pretty much have the final load figured out. There are a few odds and ends I need to add but right now the weight is sitting at 30 lbs. Since we've had some decent rain lately I'm hoping for the best and taking 2L less than I'd planned. However, I'm taking 2 2.5L Platypus bottles in case I find things are slim so I can stock up if needed. They barely weigh anything.
I did 6 miles today along the beach. I was home with the boy while he was sick so it was late afternoon before I hit the "trail". The cold front has cooled things off, too, so those two together made for a fine walking day. The only problem was the high tide left me little beach to work with and the rotting seaweed smelled. On the way back the tide was turning so I had a lot more space.
I guess that's about it. I need to get some rest since the wee lad's been waking us up at 5:30 the past few mornings.
