Hike-a-thon 2009

[tarnalberry]

It's my fourth hike-a-thon this year! If you'd like to follow the journey, check out my trip reports on my blog:

Open Original Shared Link.

As a gluten-free bonus, you'll hear all about the food I take for day trips and for backpacking.

Four trip reports up so far, though only one is a backpacking trip featuring food.

For the rest of the day trips, it's mostly some variety of bar form foods - various ones that I often 'try out' on the trail.
