Saving Weight - May 13, 2015

{ed: After a few weeks on the trail,  Dave & Heather reviewed their packs and shipped a few things back to home base.   The total weight was about 9 lbs.   Clothes,  extra shoes, AND part of the an AT trail guide.   

Only part of the guide!  The part they sent home was the portion of the AT guide for the southern half of the trail.   Since they are going north they do not need it at this time.  It saved then 147 grams.}
