Long Lost List

June 15th, 2006

On our Purcell backpacking trip last year Aidan, Mike and I all had a list going of what we were going to do differently for the next trip. (Since a lot went wrong on that trip) That list kinda disappeared into the realm of Mike for about a year – but recent excavation has uncovered a scanned printout of the original list! Here it is, unedited, for archival purposes.

  1. Aidan Says:

    I got the sleeping bag, z-lite (well, something like that), and gators covered.

    I sure hope Mike gets his fucking bags. It sounds like we were angry about that. I don’t wanna be angry again.

    Yeah, I think I got all my stuff covered. And most of the group stuff too, with the main except being the ‘tent!’. I hope we don’t regret packing all three of us in to that so called 3-man tent.
