Starting in a couple of hours!
So the gear list includes:
Thermarest Z-lite - this also doubles as the structure for my pack
Go-Lite shelter - I'm not sure which one yet
small sleeping bag rated at about 45 degrees (Thanks Matt!)
Patagonia Puffball Jacket (not available now - this links to the vest)
Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket
Patagonia Rain Shadow Pants
Patagonia Airius T
Patagonia Pull on sport top
Patagonia Long Haul Shorts
Patagonia Houdini
2 pair Smartwool Running Medium crew socks
1 pair Montrail Continental Divides
1 liter and 2+ liter Platypus Platy Bottles
2 Princeton Tec Pulsar lights - we won't be hiking at night much
Julbo Sunglasses
toilet paper
baby wipes
doctor bronners soap
sunscreen
hydropel
chapstick
broken handled toothbrush
broken handled Lexan spoon
MSR Titanium cooking pot - just the small one of the set
Cannon Elf camera in smallest Seal Dry bag

cat can stove - more on this once I've used it
fuel
Food: (one day will look like this)
1 Clif Builder Bar
2 Clif Bars
1 Clif Luna Bar
1 Clif Mojo Bar
1 bag Clif shot blocks
2 Granola bars
2-3 candy bars
1 dinner (couscous, angel hair pasta or mashed potato burritos)
1 dark chocolate bar (dessert!)
Starting tomorrow we have enough food/supplies for 3 days which will get us to our first mail drop in Breckenridge where we pick up 5 days supplies/food. In Salida we will pick up another 5 days worth. Final stop in Silverton where 3 days supplies/food will be waiting for us. At each of these stops I've arranged to meet with friends for help in town, perhaps showers and a place to sleep if there is room and timing allows. I will share pictures from these visits.
I need to be up at 4:30am to meet Skurka at 5am and be on the trail by 6am. The first six miles are on a paved road, so we'd like to get those out of the way before the heat of the day.
Excited to be done planning and get out there to do it!
