Departure Day is quickly approaching as I continue to prepare myself for this trip.
I’ve realized, that while I have all the gear to do this trip, I still need to do a bit of clothes shopping and buy some clothes for it, like convertible pants, a good mosquito hat, some more under armor, new synthetic socks and other misc items.
Do to time restraints I have dropped the item of making my own dry bags for the time being. I picked up some heavy PVC style ones from Walmart in Hood River. They will work for the trip better than the ones I had purchased earlier this year that began to fall apart the first trip I made with them. At least, that is my hope that they will hold up. They are from Walmart.
As the days continue to fly by, I am reminded just how much preparation I have done, and yet how much I am left to do.
It seems, for the most part, that I feel as if I am back 6 months ago, when I decided I was doing this trip. Even with all of the research, all of the time spent, the supplies purchased, I still feel like I’m a ways off.
It is now time for me to stop over complicating things and just let the day come.
