Re: Strategies for Seniors

To all those that intend to purchase a senior pass, do so prior to August of this season. Word is, as stated previously on these forums, the pass price is to be increased to $80.00. Although, still a great deal at the increased price; save the $70.00 for the ferry fare! :idea:

Re: Late June itinerary feedback wanted

Welcome to the forum. First you might give an idea of you and your husbands hiking experience, ages, physical condition, etc. Trails between camps are fairly easy to follow, and vary in difficulties.

Thanks for the great report; you are such a valuable contributor to the forum. Please continue your mature wisdom and insight as often as possible.

Re: Travel Size Food, Spreads, Condiments

I'm going to try the Packit offerings
I know the MJ's goods are edible
I especially like the sweet corn and black bean chowder with beef/venison jerky added
Their lentil bisque reminds me of split pea n ham soup😍
Also, nicks couch potatoes are good

Re: Travel Size Food, Spreads, Condiments

Packit, I don't believe, has organic ingredients; and I don't see "bulk", available for their prepackaged meals? Whereas, MJ's has both available. :) Vegan and Vegetarian offerings are also available. I have never tried the Packit offerings, but, can attest to the favorable review of MJ's....
