When you reach Round Top Lak...Greetings WANDERERS,<br /><br />When you reach Round Top Lake, you are about 8,600 feet higher than I.<br /><br />Welcome to the world of NeverSeconds and thank you for a first great post. The view looks great!!<br /><br />Chocolate covered ants are meant to be nice, I couldn't eat plain ones, although money has been invested in an EU project to promote eating insects. Insects in the UK are a little too small.<br /><br />Back on topic, enjoy your camp/hike and looking forward to the remaining posts!Well Done Veghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860979518997459465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-60107577193926689162012-08-14T06:14:58.015+01:002012-08-14T06:14:58.015+01:00Gah!

Just walking to the store, on a flat street, when I lived at 5,000 made me want to keel over. Good job, and stay strong!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077202219133877437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-59836185324996055212012-08-14T01:22:34.465+01:002012-08-14T01:22:34.465+01:00Awesome post!

Have lots and lots of fun girls, you'll remember these days for the rest of your life. :)<br /><br />I was amused to read that you didn't think the cheese was very healthy. Out of everything in this lunch, I would have found the fruit roll-ups to be least healthy, since they typically have a lot of added sugar.<br /><br />But you'll have used up the calories hiking in the mountains, and -- since you were backpacking -- weight and ease of transport are important factors. I know that, being good Scouts, you've packed all the wrappers out, too.<br /><br />I know the blog is about lunches, but I hope we'll get to see some photos of your cooked dinners, too. I remember learning lots of ways to cook meals in Scouts.<br /><br />Probably the one I thought was "dummest" was when we made <a href="http://www.southmilwaukee.org/scouts252/Hobo_Stove.htm" rel="nofollow">"vagabond-stoves"</a> from empty coffee cans. (And now coffee comes in plastic "cans." What on earth do Scouts use to make stoves now???) Then we cooked our breakfast of bacon and eggs on them. Thing was that you had to cut the bacon up in tiny pieces to get it to fit on the top of the can. And then the eggs stuck, so instead of "fried eggs" we all pretty much had them scrambled. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694964681619391621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-24551442743504614862012-08-13T21:37:40.818+01:002012-08-13T21:37:40.818+01:00I'd bump your meal health rating to 4/10 becau...I'd bump your meal health rating to 4/10 because of the protein in the ant - if you ate it.

Because lunch is on "the move" you need foods that give quick energy and don't need to be chilled. And don't weigh alot! Lunch for us was very similar - trail mix, beef jerkey, rye crispbreads with peanut butter and jam (both kept in reuseable tubes). We also had chocolate bars for snacks and drank lots of water. Breakfast and dinner were more normal - as normal as you can get when everything is dehydrated! What are you having for breakfast and dinner? <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your week camping with us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579969911793974054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-49443746676141996842012-08-13T20:45:49.553+01:002012-08-13T20:45:49.553+01:00Mmmm, gorp!
