I did bring two backpacks (BCA Alp 40 and Black Diamond Covert Avalung), and a variety of clothing. I’ll use the BCA If we’re traveling light and touring an area with little avy danger.

Per our plan, we continue west to Moab and set up camp. Birthday dinner at Zax Pizza, then pleasant sleep with a warm desert breeze ruffling the tent netting.

picked up some Revivex fabric treatment a while back. My outerwear stayed in pretty good shape this winter, so no reason to use the stuff till springtime, when dirt and grime get worked in to the fabric and water stops beading up on the surface like it should.

Only glitch was figuring out the controls on the washing machine so I could do a soak followed by a spin, rather than a rinse cycle that washed all the Revivex from the fabric before I could transfer it to the dryer for the recommended 60 minute cure at medium heat.
