logistics planning

I did not feel comfortable asking Will if I could borrow his wagon or touring. So I asked Kiron if he was OK with taking his car to Mew Lake. He correctly noted that we'd have to pack very efficiently.

I had already been comparing packing lists with the Chows. They invited me to use their gear, utensils, cutlery, etc. So, in terms of camping equipment, I needed a tent, a sleeping bag, and that was pretty well it.

No electronic or repair tools for me this time. No RASC or IYA materials to transport. Kiron had reserved and received one of the Toronto Centre 8" Dobsonians.

I hatched a plan to buy groceries on day 2. Not on the way. That would decrease the spare space requirements on the way up.

We still wanted to take our bicycles. My bike rack we knew worked well on his bootlid. We change from the usual routine: Kiron would pre-pack, fetch me, my stuff, the bike rack, and my bike, then we'd return to his place to grab his bike.
