Today was the first day of our first overnight hike and we were so
excited! We had a very short walk to the first hut so we took our time packing
the backpacks and getting everything ready. Matt had to pack and re-pack his
bag several times because we had more stuff than he had room for. We decided the best thing to do was to tie one of the sleeping bags and the saucepan (not the lightweight, camping kind but the heavy, kitchen kind that came with the van) to the outside of his pack. This proved to be the center of endless jokes,
laughter and lots of strange looks to come.
