Leaving

It's morning of, and we are off to Harper's Ferry today. Tomorrow I will start hiking hopefully making it the 10.4 miles to Crampton Gap Shelter. My pack base weight (weight without food and water) is around 16.5 lbs. That's pretty good, but I'm hoping to get that weight down some as I hike. Food and water is weighing around 14-16 lbs for 4 days, so the total is somewhere around 30 lbs starting. Like I said, the hope is to get that weight down over time to an ideal 25ish or even lower lbs. Food weighs a lot for me now, but as I begin hiking longer distances I will be able to carry less. Anyway, thanks for keeping track and being interested. Until the next post..
