Food Drops all done

Manny and I were only up until 1am last night, to finish up my Quest 300 food drops. Not bad! We thought we might be up most of the night. :o) Guess I'm getting better at packing...at least that's the theory. I'm truly hoping that I didn't forget anything. I was feeling rather tired last night; so, I had Manny go over my lists to make sure it all looked right. I surely don't know what I'd do without my wonderful husband and partner. He had all of my meat and fish snacks cut up and bagged, as well as my feedings all cut thin and sorted. What a guy! He also tied up my food drop bags, putting a "handle" on each, to make it easier for folks to handle them. He is truly a thoughtful man. The Quest Volunteers at the food drops liked the handles too. :o)

It just doesn't seem right...I gave up 7 bags full of food, snacks, supplies, booties, etc. and I was given a small, yellow slip of paper in return. Too funny! Good news is that Mike McCowan was on hand to give a few of us a trail report. Good snow to go around, though some nasty jumble ice just outside of Pelly. The trail is being re-routed a bit, according to Mike, "Up a hill, then down onto Pelly Farm Rd for about 5 miles." Then, back to the trail to Stepping Stone. He said that was the nastiest sections of jumble ice...hopefully that'll be the worst of it. I'm looking forward to getting out there. Only 2 weeks from today. :o)

I'm off. I'm taking the team for a nice run around the river loop tomorrow with Jodi, then off to a barbeque, of all things! It's certainly warm enough for it. It's still 25F outside right now...positively roasting. Adios!
