tit for tat: counting ounces

We've made it to Eugene again and are now frantically trying to cut as much weight as possible. I've been fighting for the past 3 days to regain feeling in left hand side of my left big toe and it's slowly but stubbornly coming back. Besides audio gear which I've already cut down to the barest minimum I'm carving out everylast living flair that is in my pack. It's fun... no seriously it really is. We are learning what we really need to survive... for the most part anyway, there are still somethings that we are holding on to, give us another 100 miles and we'll gladly give it up. :D We are on our way to the store to check out the possibility of getting new packs instead of our 5 to 6 lb packs getting a 2 lb ultra light pack. Considering we rejoice when we can cut half a lb this is a huge leap. But that my dear readers is for the next chapter. I'm sad to say this is going to be the end because there have been some wonderful people we have met so far and I want to make sure we tell you all about them. But as time shrinks down on us I must run. Cheers peace and love to you all.

I am so glad you are already experiencing God's goodness through the kindness of others. Keep at it. Hope you manage to shed ounces from your packs and not from your bodies. Keep packing the calories!

Hope you make McKenzie Pass before the 15th.

Love you all,
Mum
