Invernada Prep

The first set of bags are packed.  I have spent the week preparing for my first guided trip into the Invernada area.  I will do something I have never done before – haul gear into the cordillera in advance and establish a base camp.  This has been a fun challenge because it requires so much forethought.  I can't tell you how many times I have created, revised and checked the lists of gear to go in first.  

The goal is simple.  I want to create a very "livable" environment for the client, but not require that we carry 80-pound packs to get in.  Eventually I'd like to see even better structures designed for accessing the Andes, and this is just the beginning of that process.  

Maybe someday I won't be the mule.  For now, I am thrilled to feel so attached to something. It's fun to embark on a project without a known outcome.  We'll see how I feel after a few days of hauling huge packs into the cordillera.

I will be back on Monday evening.  In theory, I should be able to update the Chile Powder Adventures Facebook page from the field, but if that doesn't happen, it's not because something has gone wrong.  I am using a new device and social media will take a backseat for a few days.  Have a good weekend!
