10 days to go!

We are just 10 days away from the walk. So now the focus has shifted from training to packing! Jenn and I are gathering our gear, figuring out what we may still need to buy and determining how to cover everything in plastic. In case of wet weather and to protect everything from dew and moisture since we will be camping in a coastal area, its recommended that EVERYTHING be packed in plastic bags. I've got 2 gallon Ziploc bags to pack each day's clothing in and big storage bags to put sleeping bags and pillows in. Jenn is getting some painter's tarps to put on the floor of the tent and wrap our luggage in at night.

Then we need to figure out how to moosh everything into one suitcase! Each walker is allowed to bring one piece of luggage that can't weigh more than 30 pounds. Wish us luck!
