We finally connected with the trip leader for a 3-day excursion down the mighty Kettle, set for early next week, and were told there was room for us to join them.
Then it suddenly dawned on us that there's a heck of a lot of prep still to be done before we can leave town Saturday. Food must be bought, clothes must be washed, gear must be packed. Yikes!
And packed small, too, since it has to fit in the canoe with both of us. We're used to car camping, so this will be a challenge. I think Nola remembers how. I'm betting the air bag comes out of the canoe, though.
