i've been reading mountaineering and skiing books for the past month and have been having some serious cabin-fever for the past week. after some failed attempts at recruiting ski-buddies, i've decided that a short overnight backpacking trip is in order. so, about 10mi btwn mon and tues. it's going to be cold(ish) but weather-beta indicates highs in the 40s and nighttime lows just barely south of 30.
i picked up a new canister stove and some sick-ass merrell moab gore-tex waterproof boots last night.
today i went through my backpack and organized shit, gathered gear and worked out a menu plan.
a short hike tmrw in preparation. bolt out the door early monday morning, hike 6.5mi and be in camp by mid-afternoon. read and relax. try to survive the cold night. finish up w/ 3.5mi and on the road back for home.
hopefully, this will sate some the going crazies i've had for a while now.
