Re: [at-l] A small logistics problem

<<   While I am not questioning his ability to
 carry this much weight (he finished in the top third in the Dogwood endurance
 hike last week, and climbs mountains regularly :)) still, it seems a bit
much.
 So anyone have any suggestions for how to make this work as easily as
 possible??  (without drilling holes in the baby, that is <g>)

 p.s.  No, mom, shooting Toney is not an option :)  I'd still have to carry
the
 baby and MY stuff :) >>

Well, since Toney is in such great shape, and you only plan a short hike...the
solution is obvious.  Toney can hike in with gear at the crack of dawn...leave
gear wherever you plan on spending the night and come back for baby.  In fact
this means you could carry very little and just enjoy the stroll.  If theft is
an issue on the trail, which I don't think, but you never know about those
local boys, (like Toney) he could bury or hide it someway.  Then the next day,
while you sleep in or just play with Cassy, he can carry it all out and come
back to carry baby.  See???  Am I'm sure he wouldn't mind a bit.
