You'll still have to try. Freeze-dried stuff is just too cool (in concept). I ended up preferring ramen noodle meals (the fancy ones for almost a $1) and instant oatmeal. Also, don't laugh, but Spam cooked on a stick over the fire and wrapped in a tortilla was really good.<br /><br />Jealous of your group S24O. Looking forward to the update.<br /><br />Steven<br />INStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396771338114463734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-51579171408532715372009-06-16T11:02:16.717-05:002009-06-16T11:02:16.717-05:00Yah, I was just taking a breather.

Also, I used my time under the overpass to poke around Google Maps on my phone to check out possible shortcuts. That's where I noticed the 105th Terrace cut-through and decided to go for it.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-20870700969788972142009-06-16T10:53:12.467-05:002009-06-16T10:53:12.467-05:00I actually had to drive yesterday and thought I sa...I actually had to drive yesterday and thought I saw you under the overpass on Pflumm. I circled back to see if you needed help, but you were mounting back up. Now I know why. Nice fishing rig. Is it short enough to fit in a pannier? Or would you have to strap it down on top?Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-48709277379288534902009-06-16T10:06:35.342-05:002009-06-16T10:06:35.342-05:00Our group S24O is still 39 days away (yes, I'm...Our group S24O is still 39 days away (yes, I'm counting the days) and it's getting hard to focus on much else! On the advice of some friends, I went and got some freeze-dried stuff to try. Given that I like "perfection" I am taking what I learned from my first S24O and I'll be experimenting with various cooking scenarios on the back patio using my backpacking gear. I'm trying to weed out stuff that's overly complex, inefficient or heavy so that my next trip feels perfect. Going through the scenarios in my head now...<br /><br />Paul, you're not helping any! I'm JEALOUS! And John, that's kind of strange. Make sure you take tons of pics! How long is the tour?Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-35560993985566295222009-06-16T10:00:30.990-05:002009-06-16T10:00:30.990-05:00I am doing a group tour this July in PA.

Lots of people are bringing fishing gear. <br /><br />It's ironic that I grew up and still live on the ocean and have never fished.amidnightriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961440167635690163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-69954654386017148992009-06-16T08:20:08.188-05:002009-06-16T08:20:08.188-05:00Last week I went on my first bike-packing trip to ...Last week I went on my first bike-packing trip to a near by state park (~40 mile ride each way). The weather called for sun, but when I got there the rain set in... I had the whole park to myself.... Bike-packing ROCKS! Nothing like riding past miles of open pastures on the way home... First chance I'm doing it again!<br /><br />Paul in MinneapolisPaul in Minneapolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412734404486332894noreply@blogger.com
