On previous backpacking trips, Brian and I hadn't worried about weight or volume. This time, though, we broke the dehydrator (affectionately known as the Snackmaster 5000) and were very impressed. We even had extra space in our bear barrels!
It may be a little confusing, but the pictures take place over 2 trips. The first was late April, and the second was in mid-late July 2013. From Dennis Cove Road to Damascus, VA. The two trips cover approximately 50 miles.
The "Women Backpacking Together" Meetup met at the Caribou Lake Trailhead in the Caribou Wilderness in the middle of the night... around midnight. Lorrie and I were there around 7:30pm so after we put up our tent and built a fire, we warded off the bears by making a lot of noise. Four plus hours! We were up around 9am and out on the trail around 11am. Got to our camp at North Divide Lake around 3:30pm and set in for a cold night. Snow all around but we found a nice meadow to camp in.
