We're still alive!

H:
The last week has been an introduction to life with limited internet access.  We have been house sitting and alpaca sitting, that's right alpaca sitting.  No, they don't let us ride them and we really can't even pet them, but they love to eat and poop!  The poop has to be scooped up each day and disposed of to keep the alpacas healthy.  The place we're staying has limited internet connectivity so we have been MIA.

But we haven't just been sitting around waiting to scoop!  Oh no, we have been scooping other things too, but with a different instrument.  The last several days we have been immersed in sorting and preparing food packages for our hike.  We've also been testing out cooking some of these and are mentally exhausted from looking at all the different alcohol stove designs you can make.  From the complex to the simple to the super simple.

We made it home today for a bit to pet the cat, get online and do a spot of cleaning in the RV.  While cleaning Dave found a grocery bag full of smaller packs of dehydrated vegetables!  We thought we were done!  Now we have something to use to test out cooking re-hydration on the stoves we'll spend this next week building.  Pictures will be posted in a few days, hang in there, you'll see some interesting things soon.
