I’ve got my pile of stuff ready for the trip.
Now comes the process of weighing new items and making the spreadsheet.
My sister is dropping me off at the start of the trail on Thursday and will meet up with me roughly 10 days later. I’m putting together a box of what I might want 10 days out (city clothes, spare food, fuel). I’m also putting together a resupply box to ship to the Mountain Valley Retreat near Barrel Springs.
Contacted my buddy Dave who is planning to hike the JMT in July/August. Too bad I will probably be well north of there by then, so we won’t meet up. We did cycle touring in Washington state and many river kayaking trips together back in the 80s.
