I am officially ready to go! I have packed and repacked. I have weighed and substituted and reweighed items more times than I would like to count but I am finally happy with what I have packed at the moment. That said, I am sure things will get discarded along the way.
For those that are curious, below is everything I have packed:
- Sleeping bag
- pillow case
- poncho
- towel
- 4 underware
- 2 bra
- 5 socks
- 2 short sleeved shirts
- 2 long sleeved shirts
- 2 sweaters
- 2 leggings
- 1 shorts
- 1 pants
- vest
- flip flops
- baseball hat
- gloves
- knee brace
- mini daypack
- shawl
- headlamp
- 3 charging cables
- adapter
- battery pack
- laundry soap
- dog bags
- 3 paint pens for rocks
- headphones
- medical kit (1 pound)
- hiking stick tips
- body glide
- deodorant
- mascara
- chapstick
- brush
- eyeliner
- mini perfume
- clear nail polish
- shampoo
- conditioner
- lotion
- sunscreen
- face moisturizer
- tooth brush
- tooth paste
- hair bands
- Headphone bandana to drown out snoring
- 40 rocks (1 for each day)
FINAL WEIGHT: 17.4 pounds
I have had tons of people express concern over the weight of my rocks. Rest assured that I weighed out each rock and selected the 40 lightest rocks I had. (Picture below shows lightest to heaviest.)
Rocks received a base cote, quotes were written and then were sealed.
Ultimately they were only 1 pound 15 ounces and that weight is worth the joy that I will be able to bring to people who find them each day.
I fly tomorrow (Thursday at 8:00am)! Thank you to my amazing husband and phenomenal kid for giving me the freedom to have this opportunity. Wish me luck!!
