Off to Afton

Right, I'm just about ready to head off to Afton State Park for a quick overnighter. Here are the weight summaries:

343 Weight: 2861g
Base Weight: 4341g
Total Pack Weight: 5536g

OK, I went a bit excessive with food and snacks (and The Glenlivet), but on the whole, this is a lot more like it.

Looks like it's going to be a balmy 20C at night, with 90% humidity. Not much wind so the bugs will probably be annoying. I'm taking a risk by not bringing any rain gear - the forecast is good, and if there are any storms tomorrow morning, I only have to get to the car, so no big deal. On the other hand, I might slip the rain pants in at the last minute, seeing as I'm travelling light anyway!

  1. You can never be excessive with the Glenlivet although seemingly you're not taking that for warming purposes. Will maybe help with the bugs however. Have fun

  2. You were right. I didn't have too much.

    The bugs were not too bad, but owing to critical equipment failure they infiltrated my defenses.
