Last Day 'Till Departure

THUNDER BAY – Day Minus One

Well folks, we’re finally a day away from pushing off!

We’ve been inside staring at food that ought to get sorted and maps with distances that need to be measured for long enough.

We’ve made GORPs that at one point consisted solely of M&Ms and Reese pieces (I don’t know if that can really be called GORP, but I could definitely survive on it all summer. Regardless, Erik rained on that sugar fix with all sorts of healthier additions).

We’ve taken tags off all the food we needed to package into meals and fill the barrels with. Problem is, once the tags are off there is a certain category of foods that become rather indistinguishable. These white powders make up a large portion of our diet this summer: potato flakes, milk powder, parmesan cheese, bran muffin mix, oat muffin mix, tea bisquit, lemon cake, vanilla cake, coconut milk. Mmmmmm… nothing like some poppy seed lemon topped lasagna.

We’re thrilled to be all packed up at last and you should check out this little countdown video we made!
