This afternoon I will be heading out to the North Algodones Wilderness area to go backpacking for 2 and a half days. My base pack weight is 11 pounds and my total pack weight is 35 pounds, almost all water. I'm skipping the tent, sleeping pad, stove and most of the other usual items and going back to the basics, water and snicker bars. The only route plan I have is to hike north for a day and a half and then hike back south on the last day. I'll see how that goes... but right now it's very windy in El Centro, CA so I will probably be wearing my sand goggles every minute I am out there. Wish me luck!
