---Thought you might like to see the knapsack and tent I carried on my run across the U.S.. Total weight when it was full was about 25 pounds. I carried a change of running clothes, a 2nd pair of running shoes, powdered milk, powdered protein, vitamins, slightly over a half gallon of water, toiletries, note books, and a slightly under 6 pound tent.

---It wasn't so bad except when running up the mountains. Mountains like the Sierra Mt. and the Rocky Mt.. Berthoud Pass in the Rockies at 11,400 ft. was the true test. I wish I had one of the new high tech strollers I keep writing about.
