I have been subscribed to do some backpack gear testing for http://www.backpackgeartest.org/ for sometime now and finally have completed the first draft of my owner review of the SteriPen adventurer. I will include a link to the review on here once I have had the chance to edit it with the help of my mentor Andre.
If you are looking for a gear review I suggest that you checkout this site to get some opinions. I am hoping that Missie and I will be able to be frequently doing gear reviews and posting at www.reubenandmissie.com as a way to keep us active in backpacking between our big hikes.

Yesterday Missie and I took Violet for a walk out to Edwin Warner Park. We hiked the Harpeth Woods Trail and found a geocache entitled bats (GCN4VR).

I just got back from the Benton MacKaye Trail in North Georgia with the boys and it was pretty good.
A fellow counselor of mine took a bunch of photos and I am getting him to send them to me, so I will post them when I get a chance.
We hiked the planned twenty four miles in a reasonable amount of time. The third day was the toughest even though we only hiked about seven miles. There were some steep ascents the were tough for a couple of the boys.
Today we summited Springer Mountain as it is the beginning of the Benton MacKaye and there was a 1.8 mile section there that we had missed on the first day. We slack packed to the summit and that missed section. At the summit, I informed the boys that I was leaving and only one of them gave the fist pump and “yesss”.
Well, I will update later.

I will be taking my group of campers backpacking on the Benton MacKaye Trail starting on Sunday we will be driving up to Springer Mtn, hiking the first three sections of the Benton MacKaye (Springer Mtn to Skeenah Gap) This is about 24 miles of trail which should be a challenge but attainable.
I have gotten a couple of geocaches in the area, but I am not sure if we will have time to look for them or not.
