I haven’t posted anything for a week or so, but I’m still dilligently working to get ready.  Bought a box of dehydrated veggies at REI last week and have been vacuum bagging meals for the trail.  Got some great recipes for soups and beans with rice.

And…  Strange as it seems, I keep having dreams about bears.  Had another one last night.  I keep dreaming about waking up in the middle of the night and trying to scare a bear away that is poking around looking for food.
