The wind down process begins...

H:
and so begins the wind up for the launch!

We are slowly tying down all loose ends in our life.  On an hour car ride yesterday we took notes for "things to do" today and Monday.  We seem to come up with so many "oh yeah" moments that we're driving ourselves crazy.  It's quite amazing to me how we are taking so very little to live with for our hike but how much is involved in wrapping up our life so that we can be "free."  Our list ranged buying powdered coconut milk to updating our wills!

We have about 6 weeks remaining before we start but we have only about 2 weeks before we plan to move our RV into storage.  After that we will spend about a month living with whatever fits in our car.  Finally it will be cut down to what fits in our packs.

My biggest hurdle at the moment is finding a pot for our cooking adventures.  We borrowed one from my dad for our bicycle trip and it worked amazing but I can't find anything close online.  All the local stores have heavier stainless steel versions or non-stick ones, but not a basic, good ol' aluminum pot.  I've been eyeing a titanium version that would do wonders, but it starts at $60.

"Why am you not borrowing the pot from you dad?" I hear you ask.  At the moment it is somewhere in a storage unit in Ohio and my parents are somewhere in an apartment in Virginia.  I keep thinking it might just be easiest to have Amazon drop one off at my door!
