Planning and training

I've been working on our resupply strategy.  My plan is to resupply often so we don't have to carry too much. 

We have  been on one backpacking trip as training and hope to backpack every weekend that is not rainy until school gets out.

I've been taking some shorter hikes around town just to try to lose weight and stay in shape.  I will have to start taking my daughter on some of those hikes.

My spouse is not being very supportive.  He's depressed because he can't go with us and he will miss us while we are gone.  He is very ill and just can't do it, but I've got to live my life too.

I've already got our next backpacking trip planned it, it will just be a one nighter but will work for training purposes.  I wish we had bus service on Sunday's, then I could save gas by taking to bus to our backpacking trips.

My plan is to mail 4 boxes and do one off trail resupply at Sisters.  We will also do a small resupply at Ollalie Lake.

Our rough plan looks about like this.
