34 days and counting...

34 DAYS!!

34 Days is all that is left between the WolfPak and the James River.  This year we have decided to take a minimalist approach.  We will only have what we bring on the river.  In years past we have been able to stop half way through the trip at the cars to reload the coolers, get more ice, grab a snack at Burger King or just take a short break off the river.  That is not going to be available to us this year.  Our only chance at a re-up will be the first night on the river at the Gala Campground.  If any of the Wolfpak dare to make the 1/2 mile trek through swampy, mosquito filled bogs with untold amounts of unpredictable wildlife to Kelley's Market we may be able to resupply our ice, but other than that we will only have what we can carry.  This means, beer, food, water, ice, snacks, tent, chairs, grills, trash, and everything else we will need must fit in a canoe or it wont be on this journey.  In order to keep the food footprint small, we have decided to bring as little perishable food as possible, fret not, chorizos are still on the menu.  This years menu will be simple yet still delicious.

Breakfast:  Breakfast Burritos (Fluffy, soft eggs with sauteed onions and peppers smothered in cheese and wrapped in a flour tortilla)

Lunches: On the river (Natty, Granola bars, mango strips, or chorizo on the river banks)

Dinners:
        Night 1:  Hamburgers/Hot Dogs/Chorizo
        Night 2:  Pita Pizza (Pizza sauce, cheese and the topping of your choice)

This means only the hamburger, hot dogs, chorizo, cheese, eggs and veggies will need to remain refrigerated, everything else can be left in a dry-bag and not take up valuable cooler space.

Another major concern:  ICE!  How do you keep ice frozen for four days in 80 degree temperatures??  Why is ice sooooo important?  Well, BEER, duh!  Who, besides Capt'n, enjoys cracking a piss-warm Natty?!?!  To solve this problem we will be dedicating two full coolers solely to ice with the addition of dry ice to help keep things cold.  These coolers will NOT be opened until ice is required to replenish the daily coolers.  Opening of said coolers will result in severe punishment.
