Departure day is drawing near

I think that probably the most fun of any of these trips is the new gear that you "need" to be able to pull the trip off properly. Jimmah and Ekim went on a 1 day shopping excursion to all the usual places, Valhalla, MEC and Adventure (used to be Coast Mountain) and actually got pretty near everything on the lists. Plus I scored this incredibly light walking axe (no it doesn't have legs, you still have to carry it). It is a Camp Corsa Nanotech and weighs 250 grams. Yikes! I will have to make sure I keep it tied to the pack or have something sitting on it so that it won't float away. Jimmah acquired gear literally from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet and the waterproof bag to put it all in.
Both Steve and Jim have decided to join me on the Lobuje climb so it will be nice to have the rest of the three musky steers together for that part also. All three of us are busy getting things done around our houses so everything is ship shape while we are away.
A really BIG THANKS to our wonderful wives for making it possible for us to be able to head out on this adventure. You really are the tops!!
