When the studies were done we got down to some of our AT prep work:
First we had to finish some Trail Magic Bags for the AT hikers we hope to encounter.
Our first batch is finished....overstuffed and ready to go! Tomorrow we start on the green ones!
Then it was time for our daily training hike. Our goal for March is to hike/walk 3+ miles daily for 6 days out of each week.....with packs. The initial training weight of Snacktime's pack is 7.8 lbs. Next week we'll bump it up to 10lbs, and he should be accustomed to something near the 20-25 lbs he'll need to lug by the time we're ready to REALLY hike!
