SadieKate beat me to it, I do have rainwear, and a raincover for my pack as well.

Thanks for all the great info ladies! I have a few new ideas now.

I think I may go out for a hike today with the pack.

If I don't bring a stove I'm pretty sure I can just get some hot water from someone else with a stove. I thought I might get a couple of those Mtn House dried dinners, just add hot water.

I'll look into the tablets for water purifying, other people in the group were talking about them. But the water that is there may be silty from runoff.
