6. 21. 14 All of the gear

Garden Street, Cambridge, MA

Garden Street, Cambridge, MA

Before heading to my parents' house in Connecticut, where the boys will get haircuts from my brother, Steven (thanks!), and where we will celebrate the boys' summer birthdays (thanks!), we loaded up all of our gear (including items that I plan to send out for resupply stops) and walked throughout Cambridge. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it provided such a sense of relief for me to see that a. the stuff all fit, b. none of us were carrying too much, and c. the boys actually liked the heavy walk. Nothing was packed properly or strategically, we just wanted to load up the weight. 

Our finish line was at Crema Cafe in Harvard Square, where we stopped for lunch, and then we headed over to EMS for a final backpack fitting. We have our boots, we have our multitools, we have zip locks bags and Tyvek and sandpaper and duct tape and tin foil pieces and clips and..I think we are all set.
