We spend way too much time packing and repacking all the ridiculous amounts of stuff we carry.
Several bags sit folded in the bottom of another bag, empty most of the time.
So on Christmas eve in the morning, we figured out what to put in what bag yet again. From the hotel to the river was about 1 mile. We only briefly considered carrying everything. In addition to everything else, we had 2 cases of soda and 1 case of beer. He even gave us their phone number.
