Tick Tock Tick Tock – The Clock Counts Down

  • Arctic Expedition 2010 Departure:

    23 months, 4 days, 10 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds ago

    • It is just around the corner!

    Less than 7 days remain until my departure on my trip to the North leaving from Washington State, through Beautiful British Columbia, swinging by to visit Alberta before hitting the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

    Swinging around to Say Hello to Alaska, then make my way down the Stewart Cassiar Highway before finally arriving back in Seattle some 3 to 4 weeks later.

    6 months of planning still has me scrambling for time, as it ticks away!

    Stay Tuned for the Adventure!

    This proved to be a seriously great idea. It has given me even more insight into what I need to adjust for my packing.

    The clock is ticking, and it is ticking fast. I have a lot to accomplish in the next 2 weeks.

    For starters, I need to start making jerky and dried fruit.

    I also need to start getting all of my breakfast and dinners made, which is going to require me to stop off at Healthy Harvest again at the end of this week on my way down to Oregon. One item I picked up when I first was down there was some compressed towels. These have proven to be very useful, and I plan on picking up several packs for the trip. They are perfect for cleaning up after meals, and washing up with.  I will pack a few in each meal bag, as well as carry a couple pouches of them.
