Just finishing packing up for an eight day trip into the Everglades. The participants are from a private school in Colorado and they like to create their own menu and due all the cooking. This makes for easy packing and a whole lot less stressing. I'm really hoping for warm weather and lots of wildlife. Just the opposite of Januarys Everglades trips.

   I purchased a used Ford Van to help with the next few months of back to back expeditions. I will most likely resell it some time in May. It came with the heavy tow package so I can piggy back loaded trailers, which I have to do all the time now.
