Thanks so much for the great feedback 63. I'll definitely use your ideas on clothing as I have the most difficulty really figuring that out.
I'll PM you my email address for the notices on hikes/trips. Our troop is right now doing a Angeles Crest weekend camping trip (17 miles over 3 days). Was going to make it but screwed up my back on Monday at my daughters softball practice.
Our troop is also doing the tram camping trip in June, but I'm in Florida then. I'd love to fit in some of these trips with you in between the troops trips if at all possible.
Tanks again.
