We read that you ate an average of 11 energygranola bars a day on the trail. Didn’t you get sick of them? Have you eaten one since?I ate more than 1,200 Balance Bars during my trip, plus 650 other energy bars, 250 candy bars, 600 ounces of Pringles, replica Breitling Aeromarine Avenger Men's watch 600 ounces of deluxe mixed nuts, and more than 750 ounces of Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate.

Since I’ve been off the trail, I’ve toned down my consumption of trail food, but not entirely since energy bars are convenient and nutritious, and since I have about a month’s supply of them still around.
What’s the first thing you ate after you got off the trail?On the ride back to Flagstaff from the Grand Canyon I had a half-dozen homemade chocolate-chip cookies, followed by a half-pound burger with fries and a few beers for dinner.Now that you’re settled back in Boulder, what’s next?The next big trip will probably have to wait until replica Breitling A253 Men's watch 2009, just because of the time required to develop the idea and plan for it.
