I have packed and re-packed my stuff several times. My gear is so  
small and streamlined I've been trying all my packs. I can get it  
into my book bag from college. Without food and water anyway.

At least I have some trips to go on in the mean time. So I only have  
to count down the days until Feb 12 and then to Spring Break and then  
to begin. I'll meet you all in Hikertown!

P.S. It's raining for the 2nd day in a row in So Cal. This is real rain.
