On January 27th through 28th, I went hiking with my Boy Scout troop to the Superstition Mountains. We didn’t actually camp up on the mountains, but we camped more on the area surrounding the mountains.

I packed a little heavy, bringing along an air mattress, hiking chair, sleeping bag, pillow, an extra set of clothes, and some other things I ended up not using. It ended up being around 30-35 pounds.

It was a fairly rough trail, with Saturday being the hardest day due to the fact that it was mostly uphill with few flat hiking areas. There was also the fact that I was carrying two cans of Chef Boyardee’s Ravioli to eat for that night. Unfortunately, the plastic bag holding the cans broke, can I had to shove them into my bag. Additionally, the cans had to feed 7 hungry teenagers, so they were fairly big, maybe the size of a head. I didn’t know that I had enough space to do that, because then I would’ve just kept them in the hiking bag. The hike ended up being around 3.82 miles long.
