I've been reading a lot about how to pack lightly for backpacking/touring. I'm making a list of what to pack (besides the 10 essentials). I do know that I will be packing my tent, sleeping bad, sleeping pad, toiletries, rain gear and clothing. We haven't decided if we will cook dinner or eat on the road. I've started to assemble my gear and will do some loaded practice rides to get use to towing a trailor and extra weight. We have lots of hills on Whidbey Island, so I will gets lots of practice climbing. I do plan to pack my camera, so I will be able to share pictures later this month.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions! I'm very excited!!!
