A couple of days ago I posted photos of two Cal Fire employees . Today I had opportunity to hike up the Cerro alto mountain with Jennifer . Again I must say I was impressed . Her pace was fast and she was very focused . At the top I enjoyed the conversation with her and her friend .In the photo of myself and her , I am holding the water bag containing 5 gallons of water weighing 40 lbs. I also noted she was carrying other gear plus a drinking water supply . Good work !!

PLEASE TELL ME! As an ultralight backpacking I could really use the info! How did you get 10 gallons of water to weight only 40 lbs?!?
Just kidding - but a technical corretion for you. One gallon of water weights 8.32 lbs (at 70degrees at sealevel); so 10 gallons weighs 83.3 lbs not 40 lbs!
