Just as an once here and an once there eventually leads to a pound here and a pound there, a chore here and a chore there eventually leads to an hour here and an hour there. I'm running out of time!
Talking to Dan today on the phone, we both got a laugh out of how much time it takes to wrap up all of the little things. If any future long distance hiker happens to read this, give yourself a few days to wrap up the little things on the to-do list! I probably shouldn't even take the 15 minutes to post this, but I wanted it to be a reminder to myself if I ever do a trip like this again.
As a side note, I bought a new sleeping bag at REI on Tuesday. I purchased The North Face Cat's Meow (suggested by Dan). It's an affordable 20 degree synthetic bag and in the process, shaved another two pounds off my previous base weight.
The anticipation is "killing" me!
