(67.112.35.90) 		I'll be heading up to Trail Camp Sat.AM . TC to Summit on Sun AM and back to TC or all the way down depending on how I feel. Hope to run into some of you.
Last year I carried a 53lb BP to Outpost. This time my base weight is 15lbs and I have lost 40 pounds. That is 70lbs + that I won't have to drag up the hill this time.
Thanks to all who have contributed to the lighten the pack thread recently and I have BobR's list.

(71.119.62.249) 		DRD:

Now it's YOUR turn to celebrate! Don't forget the champagne! I know it's been a tough year, and I wish all the best for you on your trip up the MT. If you listen closely to the wind, you just might hear the call of the moose this weekend!

I also know about taking off the 70#: best part is I can take it on and off at will now, instead of lugging it everywhere with me!

All the best: Climb Hard, Be Safe.
