Driving up tomorrow

I have a lot of updating to do, but it will have to wait until I get back. Tomorrow I'm driving up to Crawford Notch to sleep over and then get shuttled the next morning to the trail head.

I've tried to cut out and eliminate a lot of stuff but my completely loaded pack is 18 lbs. Sigh...

Just the granola and two energy bars (3 days worth of snacks) weight 1.25 lbs alone. I'm used to carrying 8-10 lbs on day hikes, so this will be a stretch. Will have to just remember the slow and steady rule.
