<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=3 FAMILY="SERIF" FACE="Palatino Linotype" LANG="0">We just saw a show by Ken and Marcia Powers, who completed the Triple Crown this year (Pacific Crest Trail 2000, Continental Divide Trail 2002, Appalachian Trail 2003) these trails total about 8000 miles - an excellent show, but I particularly recommend their website http://home.pacbell.net/kdpo/ It has a detailed equipment list including weight, broken out for each trail. <BR>
<BR>
If you are walking the Camino, you will not need all the equipment, but the rain gear and cold weather gear info is appropriate, and shows you just how lightweight these essential items can be.<BR>
<BR>
Also, it has their food list by meal, as originally planned and what they ended up doing.<BR>
