Thanks for your kind words. I unfortunately carried everything I ate and drank on the trip (even though I took a water filter, too). My pack weighed around 45 lbs. and it was way too heavy for a day hike. But, I felt comfortable taking all the water and gatorade (liquid) with me. Next time I'll take half that and I'll actually use the filter to get water at trail camp on the way up and down. Hope to see you out there!
