Thanks for the great words of encouragement.  And there will be no more talk
of showers, lol.  And I actually think my pack may be slightly bigger than a
day pack...but not much.  

I haven't done the math, but my impression (looking at gear with a whole new
eye to 'light') is that for every ounce you save on weight, you can add $10 to
the price.  So now I have to change my projected budget. (and get more advice
from Kahley on cheap gear. )
