When the evening forecast took a turn for the better, I texted Glen to see if he was interested in an after work hike. We were a little short on time, so we took the shorter route up our mini-mountain. I brought my backpack again and added a little more weight to it, so I was up to 17.5 lbs. I could definitely feel the difference of the 2.5 more pounds compared to yesterday's trip. My pack sat on me heavier. The pack is supposed to be comfortable carrying up to 35 lbs. I hope to have a total pack weight of around 25 lbs. In the evening my right arm ached. I think my muscles are tired from just lifting the pack up! Oh dear.
