31 days to go

We've spent a few hours on Friday afternoon booking camping grounds in the West Coast region around Forks (vampire country - for those that don't know - this is where the Twilight series is based.)

Glad that we are mixing in Las Vegas at the start for 3 days and Seattle at the end for 3 days - we didn't realise that this was quite as wilderness as it is.

We are now trying to work out what food we can pack for the two lots of two days between supermarkets and shops, where we have to carry all our food. Hoping it will be warm weather, so perishables won't work,

We will be going without showers and having 'pit' toilets, fighting off bears from our food .... and eating 'bike tourists' foods.  So, rehydrated emergency rations, instant noodles, energy bars.

Any other non perishable, yummy foods that don't need a microwave (ie yummy on their own, or with boiling water) suggestions appreciated!


This is part of the trip http://www.olympicdiscoverytrail.com - we start this at Port Angeles and go towards the Pacific Ocean.  Not going the whole way on this trail, we veer south at 'Forks' Vampire country...

Will update again before we head off to make sure it is all working properly.
