Learning to Pack...RIGHT

YAY! Our portable solar panel arrived. More toys to play with and get dialed in before our trip. We're going to be using the Goal Zero Sherpa 50 kit. We will be able to recharge our GPS devices (and phones) so everyone can keep an eye on us! We don't have the link for you to track us YET - it's a subscription service and there's no point in having anyone see exactly where in our house our dining room table is :P   We'll activate that next week when we hit the road - driving to Banff next Friday!

Rode 38.4 miles on the tandem today and I don't think there's anything I can do to prepare the backside for days on end in the saddle -- other than days on end in the saddle. Going to have a practice packing session tonight to determine who carries what, and if it all fits in the dry bags that line the trailers. I have to handicap Lorne with the heavy stuff, right? Shhhh don't tell him I said that. I'll be sneaking extra stuff into his pack :D

Keep the positive thoughts and vibes coming our way and we always send 'em right back at ya!

Much love and peace,
Melani & Lorne
