In a few hours Jade and Stacy pick us up and we head to Sonora to spend the night at Mardi’s place. Tomorrow morning will start walking with Jade, Stacy and Mardi!

We’re off! But before we go, here’s a look at what’s in our packs. We’ve tried to strike a balance between ultralight and comfort for such a long journey and I think we got it pretty right. I’ll pack out with right around 25 lbs. At the start of our longest (10 day) leg. Melody is at 24 lbs.. Not bad.

We’ll be continuing these posts from the trail so stay tuned for what’s around the next turn.

Here’s a link to our gear lists: http://goo.gl/mMzKTA

Happy trails!
