Since Russ is Young Men's President in our Ward he was put in charge of getting the food purchased, packaged and in bear canisters before leaving for the 40 mile hike on Monday morning with the rest of the YM and Stake Leaders. He and I grabbed a bite to eat on Friday night then came home and got to work. We started by separating dried fruit into 45 small baggies. Breakfast, lunch and snack all needed to be in separate Big Ziploc bags. Breakfast consists of: 2 oatmeal packets, 2 hot chocolate packets and 1 granola bar. Lunch gets a little better: Beef or teriyaki jerky pkg., 1 pkg. of trail mix, and 2 packets of crystal lite drink mix. Snack time: a baggie of dried fruit, rice krispie treat or cookies. Dinner: An MRE meal and one night ice cream. Fifteen people received breakfast, lunch and snack for 3 days in their Ziploc bags, (I'm not sure who will feed them the 4th day :-0).
