[quote Hnaf]I'm not a good judge of weight but I would guess near 40-45 lbs on my pack and gear.
I had an itch and I scratched it. Figured it's not scratched for good. At least the extreme need to pack all that stuff in. It was pleasant enough on the water and the fishing that I will do it again, but next time I won't bring the whole set of gear... Maybe I'll skip the hike all together and just float across washington/tail and then port up to shadow...
The "wife agro" factor due to the poor time estimation bit both Jason and I... We have both now sufficiently smoothed things over and vowed to be much more vague in the future as to when we will be home and when they need to start to panic due to our absence... [

I always tell my wife I will be home by midnight that way if I show up any earlier she is pleasantly surprised. Excellent trip write up!
