Lock n’ Load

All the necessities.

Gathered, and packed.

The stove is not in the pack. Surly wrench for size.

Word from the GCNP backcountry desk is that the road out is pretty messy. Some “idiot” got stuck driving out Monday at high noon. I’ll try tomorrow evening, to get an early start, but if necessary will camp and finish the drive in the wee morning when things are frozen. If really necessary, I’ll wait until midnight Sunday to drive home, though that would suck. Hauling down to the river on Saturday will take off the psychological weight, as the Tonto and Bass trail out are well established and by consensus fairly fast.

And now, an evening with humanity, dinner and a movie with M if I can haul her out of the cutting room.
