You will need to bring your bag to Team HQ this week so we can transport it to Tsali where Jim will take over. Suggest the following content:
* Sunscreen
* knee warmers
* arm warmers
* rain jacket
* vest
* food
* 4 bottles loaded with sports drink powder
Place your name on bag and put tape with name on your bottles. If I am doing the math right, Jim will have about 40 bottles. HE WILL FILL THEM WITH WATER! AND SHAKE 'EM UP.
Jim will be right on the roadside with the bags and bottles all laid out by each other. We will radio him ahead to tell him so he can do this and the bottles will be cold.
Jim will have the latest weather forecast for us for Mt Mitchell! This will determine what part of this stuff we need or leave at the car.
Also remember you need to check a bag at the start on Monday morn with clothes, towel, soap etc. There are showers at Marion and you will need one, trust me. The bag will be waiting on you at the summit.
