That's a really nice train ride. The California Zephyr, right? I rode from Chicago to Emeryville (pretty much San Fran) just last year. It was a great experience but take a pillow and heavy blanket,...

UPDATE!

Tuns out that I have family living about a half hour from the Trail Head so I guess I will be doing the approach. And I might start a bit early depending on how antsy I get.

No trail name but you'll know me by my Jolly Roger.
I am NoBo and headed out April 1st if I can manage to wait that long.
I won't be hiking the approach but I plan on taking...

I'm M. J. Green. I don't have a trail name yet but most people end up calling my Mr. Green or Matty Cakes. I've always loved being close to nature and fining peace in solitude. I've been collecting...

Got it covered with a vacuum sealer.

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I can't wait to get started! I'm gonna freeze dry a ton of fresh fruit to keep in a bounce box. Now to decide whether to make whole meals or a butt-load of...

Also, how about fruits? The only thing I could think of is strawberries and bananas for oatmeal but I have no idea how often I'd actually eat oatmeal.

Hi everyone, I know that there are several threads talking about dehydrating and freeze-dried foods but here's my situation: I work in a lab and have easy access to both liquid nitrogen and a nice...
