I make lists like mad, and this is my one for backpacking. The things I leave out (stove, matches, flashlight, etc.) are things that Morgan has. Also bowls. I never seem to have the right bowl for backpacking, especially in my new awkward dish smashing phase.

driving directions
We're going up Mt. Hood (not summiting) on the Timberline Trail to Elk Cove from the Vista Ridge Trailhead. There are supposed to be thunderstorms, but it might be hot and sunny, hence my eclectic wardrobe choices. I hope Morgan lets me borrow my camera for part of the time, but one of the reasons I wanted to go to this particular place is because it's supposed to be great for pictures.
On the way back, we're going to stop by IKEA in Portland so I can pick up a few items for my RA room next year, like a handy bookshelf and some blankets and cork board. I'm a little worried that I'm going to be a dirty and disheveled shopper, which is why I'm going to leave a fairly nice and clean outfit in the car to change into. Morgan threatened to do my shopping for me if I refuse to get out of the car due to dirtiness, so I think a quick change at a gas station will work out. :)
We need to be back by 3 on the ninth so I can take a real shower and get prepared for the RBD PACURH site visit. My Transportation meting with them is at 3:30 and I have to go to the moderately fancy dinner at 6:45. We'll have to hike out pretty earlier to make it to Portland and then Corvallis in time.
