Thanks for taking the time to give so much good advice!
I, too, figured about 1#/day for food with about 10# overall for the trip. Good to remember that day 1 doesn't have to go in the can! We have friends coming out of the woodwork with bear canisters & even an Ursack that we can borrow, so we'll be going the "free borrowed gear" route & each carry a canister. Still thinking about slinging an Ursack over a tree limb, though.
As far as rain gear, I'm going with a poncho & waterproof gaiters.
Working hard training; working on the "mental game" now!
