Crunch Time

Each day is getting busier and lists are only marginally getting shorter. Tomorrow is the last full day of prep and then it's "ready or not, here I come"!

Meals are packed for the first five days. I was surprised at the volume, but pleased with the weight...just 7-1/2 pounds.

Dad and I are still looking for warm hats that are an improvement over what we already have. At this point I think we'll just figure it out as we go. However, we are covered quite nicely with our sun hats, as shown below :)

The second picture shows a meal being put together. Mom is very organized and all parts of each meal are weighed for consistency.

Today I thoroughly enjoyed a last hamburger meal before hitting the trail. Oh how I miss In-N-Out. Rumor says they are coming to Houston. I say it can't happen soon enough! Maybe I'll go back one more time tomorrow...
