28 lbs

Whoa, a week between posts.  Apparently, a quick trip to Oklahoma City, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers playing on two different days made it difficult to post, much less exercise.  However, I did in a way practice my backpacking skills. 

My computer backpack with computer and books, etc, weighed 15 lbs.  My suitcase with clothes, tools and cameras (for work) weighed 13 lbs.  So I slung one bag over one shoulder and the other bag over the other shoulder and simulated a 28 lb backpack.  Of course, all the weight was on the shoulders which is not the way it is when backpacking, but it was better than nothing. 

This week is pretty busy too, with meetings every night this week, so we'll see how much posting I get in.  This weekend we're heading to spend a long weekend at Birch Bay (just south of the Canadian border) and if the weather cooperates, we'll head up to Mount Baker to try out hand at showshoeing.  Gail and I got snowshoes for Christmas last year, but the weather didn't cooperate.  However, La Nina is going to help us this year, since there's quite a bit of snow.
