GCL Update

Just a quick update - probably not many more of these "prep" entries before I start the GCL. I'll be in Nevada and mostly offline for 3 weeks in May and I'm on track to start the hike on June 4.

I was just notified that the 8th edition guidebook shipped. Great, I was hoping to get it before leaving for NV. I'm not expecting any real surprises but it's nice not to have to remind oneself "unless it's changed in the X years since then" when consulting the book on something important.

I've decided to drop off some supplies at the Breckenridge hostel and hide a food cache or two around LCW on my drive back from NV. I'm still not sure how many maildrops I'll send. It's probably a good idea to send one to Marble and maybe Minturn during the return trip. Other than that maybe Twin Lakes and/or Mt. Princeton. I have sufficient hiking meals and snacks already (and gear) so I won't need to make any shopping trips whatever I decide.
