New Gear, etc

For April Fool’s

Steel with cladding

These mugs praising ultralight were on clearance at REI. Steel with cladding. Pretty heavy. It was ironic all in all.

New socks for Easter.

Darn tough full cushion socks

I tried marking one pair with a sharpie. Washed them. The sharpie completely washed out?!?

But I like them. I think they are my new first choice for backpacking.

Replacement sun gloves

REI sun gloves

Very similar to Glacier except only one finger has the more abrasion resistance fabric. Which fits my hiking style.

Glacier is also still not in stock. These are sized a little small so I’m wearing the XL size.

I’ll have to see how well they wear but I am hopeful.

Other

Happy6 has some tweaks to her knee. Still recovering from that. So we aren’t doing much training right now.

Snow on the mountains

We got some snow!! Not enough to break the drought conditions but it was nice to see. More next week.
