DRIPPING with sweat. That was me today. In preparation for our 3-day hike, today we loaded up our backpacks with the things that we plan to take on our 3-day hike and weighed our packs. The goal was 9-13 kilos (I've no idea the corresponding weight in pounds :) and I made only 7.7! We then emptied the real stuff out of our packs and filled with the same weight in wood/water.
So we had a "gear hike" today, with the full weight or our packs. There are three other gals in my hike group and then we have a national guide and two national ladies allong with us. We were so gross after our hike today, but had a great feeling of accomplishment at being able to climb up our mountain with a large pack on our backs!
The three day hike is next Monday - Wednesday so stay tuned...

WOW! Lisa! It makes me tired to think about carrying a pack in those climate conditions! I am proud of you! And I am eager to hear your report on the 3 day hike next week! Mom
Way to go Lisa. Hey, what's your address?
