Backpacking

We got back a few hours ago from Point Reyes from my first backpacking trip! We left Thursday, hiked to our site, did a day-trip on Friday, then hiked in today. It wasn't full fledged backpacking, but it did include much of the experience. I don't have all that much to write down about it, but I just thought I'd take a minute. Pictures up later, maybe.

Let me just say, it was not as hard as I was anticipating. The packs are built to carry more weight, and you pack the right kind of stuff, but even so I had been thinking I would need to rest every other step. Nah, it was lighter than my school backpack! Or around the same anyway.

The one thing was, it would have been good to have had longer to break in my boots. I got a few bad blisters, which made the hike back a little less pleasant. I guess that makes it good that it wasn't like, hard-core backpacking. 

I would also like to note how delicious the food was. Yum. Of course, my mom is an amazing cook so it was no surprise. And when you're on Trail, everything tastes fantastic. But still, we had some remarkable meals. I'm drooling, just remembering about it. 

We were at Point Reyes, at the Glen campsites. They were not as spectacular as Wildcat, which we hiked to and was by the beach (our day trip on Friday), but it was still nice, considering we weren't even expecting to be able to get a site at all at Point Reyes. It would have been nice to be a little farther apart though... 

I don't really know where I'm going with this, so I think I'll just end. :D
