Farm to Freeze-Dryer: Fresh Strawberries!
71 days until we hit the trail in Maine! Things are slowly coming along. Marty got the bag that will hold his hydration bladder inside his pack.

Some of it has just been shuffled from one shelf to another or from one closet to another. I donated boxes and boxes of books.…

Crater Lake National Park
I flew into Medford, Oregon on Sunday afternoon. I made a beeline for the rental car and drove 2 hours to meet my nephew. Can you believe that I have not seen my nephew since 1992!?
