Travel Preparations
I will be off in the wilds of Colorado for over 2 weeks, starting Friday. I will be able to send some posts, but not as many as usual.
Fortunately, I *will* be cooking - I have my portable one-burner gas stove, and I will have occasional access to a "real" kitchen. The only caveat is little to no access to refrigeration (besides the nightly temps in the 20s).
Before I go I will:
1) cook up a shitload of oat groats, since they take over an hour to cook at 7000', and would take probably 2 hours at 9500 (where I'll be). They will be stored in individual servings in a cooler.
2) Mash up those overripe avocados in my fridge and limejuice them to keep them from getting worse. They will be added to the oatmeal (not as bad as you might think) or other things as necessary.
3) Divvy up into small containers lots of dried semi-instant foods: lentil soup, granola, muesli, refried beans, noodle cups.
4) Load up the huge amount of other foods I've set aside: V8s, Starkist tuna meals (a true godsend in the prepackaged food category), assortment of spices, hot beverages, and trail mix.
I take a lot of food when I go on a trip - better to have too much. Some will come back home, of course, but the variety will be a boon when I'm bored up there. The lack of fresh veg will be disconcerting, but I'll get some on the way up and see how long they last. After that I'll be eating daily salads at the Avalanche, because salads are a way of life for me now. Yum.
