Packing and Repacking

All this has got to fit in the packs?
Well, the basement is cluttered with all our gear to be taken and not taken. We have reviewed everything, weighed everything, washed everything, and tested most everything to make sure it will work well. Our packs weigh about 13 pounds without water. This seems like a good weight that will allow us to walk easier and not struggle, given the distances we are covering.


The final few preparations are pretty much done. Now to just get to Europe...

A word of thanks to all those that have wished us good luck. We will pray for you along the Way.
