Shopping and Packing

I made 10-grain/fruit pancakes for breakfast, then we spent the day shopping and packing. Sue and I needed Xtra Tuff rubber boots for the rafting part of the trip. Jenn and Joanie found out at Denali that their new sleeping bags didn't keep them warm when night temps dropped into the 20's. They bought new Sierra Design bags and will return the others to REI when they get home. Sue bought a new rain jacket and Marilyn a fleece vest.

We spent the evening packing in 3 categories - backpack, river bag, and things to store at the hotel until we return. Our river bags will be flown in to the Kongakut River at the end of the backpacking week.
