2015 Colorado Trail hike prep

Well, Dave is getting ready for another adventure. Later this month he's heading to Denver, Colorado where he'll meet up with fellow hiker Trevor and Trevor's guide dog, Tennille. They will start their 500 mile trek just outside of Denver and finish in Durango. This blog will be our link with their progress! Meal packaging is underway. Dave figures he'll need minimum 3000 calories a day. We are putting together foods with high calories and low weight. This is not very easy. We are staying away from candy bars (ok, a few may end up in his meal bag). We have some pre-packaged meals and some of our own creations. I'll put a list out on the next blog. He estimates they will be on the trail 42 days. We will plan for 45 just in case. Trevor has Trail Angles who will be bringing them food about every 3 or 4 days. This is mainly for Tennille. Dog food is heavy! Although Tennille will be carrying some food, Trevor and Dave will share the load. Stay tuned for more updates on the pre-adventure and then the big send off scheduled for June 19th!!
