Backpacking! - Page 3

I'm not sure. I think we're hiking a loop. As far as fresh food goes, I'm going to bring a cucumber, a few apples, and an avocado. Otherwise we're doing things like oatmeal and pasta and such (I just found all this out). I'm definitely bringing granola and dried fruit.

Though the idea of sleeping under the stars definitely appeals to me, the idea of bugs walking on my face while I sleep does not.

Just be sure to check inside your shoes for critters before you put them back on in the morning.

Have fun!

If you were going for more than a loop I'd recommend you leave the cucumber and apples at home. They're basically just bags of water. As it is though I'm sure it wouldn't be a hardship.

I am happy to report that we are bringing a tent!

Backpacking was amazing! We did 16-17 miles total in Bear and Sabino Canyon. I'm not sure I've ever been this sore. We pushed pretty hard and it was hot! A very close encounter with a rattlesnake added some excitement to the trip. So much fun!!! Pics are on facebook and myspace.
