           Doug cooking at home with his backpack.

As you know, or may not know, I used to eat a lot of food before I started hiking, but now that I hike about 20 miles per day, I eat even more. So, I did a list of all the food I ate one day. This was for May 11, I think, the really hot day after Tehachapi, so I had a full pack (5 days) of food. My motto for the first few days is eat whatever, whenever, and as much as I can. When I get closer to town, I usually have not as much food, a light pack, and motivation to get into town so I can chow down on town food. Going into Tehachapi, I had 3 power bars and did 18 miles before 1:30. Going out of Tehachapi I did 21 miles and ate...
