Pack Prepping

Spent the day sorting food and gear for my assault on the Sierra Nevada mountains. My food works out at about just over 3000 cal per day with a total pack weight of 9.8 kg which includes the nearly 1 kg bear canister.  I'm happy to keep it under 10. I'll refine it further on Wednesday in Mammoth once I know the latest weather forecast. So far it looks fine and mild. (Doesn't it always?!;-)
Thursday I start on the Pacific Crest Trail out of Mammoth, heading north to Tuolumne Meadows then on to Yosemite Valley, a trip of about 100 km. All going well I'll be out late Sunday with a pickup from Katrina. 
My pack fully loaded an raring to go.
