Check out me dogs Trooper and Paco - they are not too fazed...
Its 4:00pm I am just starting to pack :). I had a nice breakfast with Aimee and the great folks at ATS (Ken Burkey, Tony Myers etc) - those crazy kids are riding to Alabama today. The I was off to the new REI in Kennesaw (opening day) to buy a new pack (Osprey Aether 70) and some last minute bits and pieces - I had a good chat to Daniel Jesse(sp) while I waited 35 min to check out - the place was packed! My other new piece of gear is a Nikon D60 DSLR with 18-200mm VR lens... hopefully it will come back in one piece too...
About now Hunter is in Miami waiting for his flight to Bogata (Columbia) then on to Santiago to arrive at 4:30am. I'll arrive at 7:30am and we'll hopefully find eachother and then a bus to take us over the Andes to Mendoza (Argentina) before nightfall. Once we make it to Mendoza we'll take a deep breathe, drink a beer and sort out what to do next :)
Now will all that gear fit into the pack?...hmmm?
All the best & cheers,
Neal
