Packing out

Emily, Meg and I have finally converged at the Stirr house in Madison to begin packing out. The To-Do list at this point is out of control but at least we can start making some serious progress now that we're all in one place. Yesterday we sorted through the BPE explosion in the Stirrs basement and tried to figure out how many nalgenes and how much extra seam grip we need to buy. Getting all the gear laid out in one place is both reassuring and a little intimidating -- at least it's all here, but then again there's so much of it!

We also sorted through the boxes of food that have been arriving here all spring. After some complex calculations Emily discovered that we have enough mini Luna Bars to eat six per day for the entire summer. And they are caramel nut brownie flavor!

On the agenda for today: sorting through maps, a trip to the hardware store and a conference call with Karen and Beth who are still at work in North Carolina and Ohio, respectively. Stay tuned for more updates and pictures. Also a special thanks to Lisa Goodman for stopping by to chat yesterday!
