Finishing loadouts for the annual getaway.
For the 3 of us bringing equipment, there are 13 guns and not quite 2k rounds of ammo.
(More guns are being left behind than brought.)

Beer reserves proved excessive last year.
We all had our fill and yet felt obligated to consume more so it wouldn't go to waste.
There was still some left over.
(Note to self: start drinking earlier in the day...)

Majority of rations are being prepared right now.
A microwave in a motorhome sure does make camping easy.

Water and propane reserves proved not to be a problem last year.
Generator ran for 30-40 hrs, pushing one or both A/C's much of the time.
Only burned 4 gallons of a 16 gallon tank.
Should be enough water for everyone to shower once.


Remember waking up drunk in the rain at about 9000 ft some 17 years ago, and rucking everything (including water) up steep slopes at even higher altitude.
This is definitely a better way of doing it.
