Backpack packing

Yesterday I drug my massively huge backpack out of storage. This morning I started packing away some of the gear that we have ready for this upcoming trip. Now I am wishing I had bought the even more massively huge pack. Still have food and assorted gear to pack and I'm almost out of room in my pack.


The Talker will be wearing a pack rented from REI. We can't pick that one up until Thursday afternoon. If he likes this trip, I bet we buy him one for the next trip. This time though, I'll tote most of the crap so that he can get used to hiking with a pack.

We leave early Saturday morning for a 3 hour drive to the National Forest. But even the drive should be nice, because we will be cruising through small towns and through the Texas country side the entire trip.
