Putting the L in TL

At Manito-wish, TL (Trail Lunch) is pretty much the same every day. Which isn't a bad thing -- what more could you want than peanut butter, honey, bannock, cheese and sausage? While we nailed down a couple of our TL essentials a few months ago with our sponsorships from Bob's Red Mill, Usingers and Cabot Creamery, we have also had a couple of sponsors step up in the last few days to cover the rest of our TL needs.

Superior Nut Company, a local Cambridge, MA company is providing us with 30lbs of peanut butter. Enough to keep us well-fueled through all of those late afternoons when the wind rises and the glare is in your eyes. There is nothing more central to a great TL than peanut butter and we're psyched to have Superior Nut Company on board.

Another key TL ingredient is honey and we've been lucky enough to receive 10 lbs of "pure, sweet honey" from Willi van Haren. Thanks also to Ambra for helping us make the connection!
