Our reality: we'll never have one of those neatly organized grid like gear packing photos, nope.
From this first-pass in mid-December...


To this, the night before we left Grand Marais for our drive out west...
No amount of pre-planning saves the inevitable last minute rush. Now in Whitehorse, our hotel room is a mess!
We need to fill our fuel bottles, re-arrange bags for the 2-stage flight onto the glaciers, remount the bindings that had to be removed to fit the skis in a bag for commercial flight, etc. We are checking electronics and packing and re-packing our gear. Fun stuff!
