In Search of my Backpack

I am trying to decide on which backpack I want to take on this trip, I own several but this morning I have discovered the one that I was thinking about taking is boxed away somewhere and I am not 100% sure where the box actually is.

So I might have to spend some time going through boxes, and this will get a good time to throw away some things as well, So I get to clean up a few things while I am looking for the pack

The other option would be to go shopping and purchase a small pack that I could use in the future if I do more trips like this. but right now that is my second choice, I would like to find the pack that I already have and look at that closer and decide then if I should buy a new pack that would work better on the trip.

I do have my good pack that is the one I carry my computers and mobile office stuff with, but it is bigger and heavier, I am thinking for this trip I am going to want to pack lighter so I can get around town once I get to Fort Worth very easy the less I have to carry the better.

I can bet my most weight is going to be water that I will be carrying

But the first step is to start looking through boxes I have gone through most of the ones here in the house with no luck so next is to start with the many boxes I have in storage.

Tickets

Well about to start a new trip down the rail it has actually been a few years and I am ready for another adventure trip on the rail. 

I am good shape this time around I walk 6 miles a week at the gym, so this time I am not going to have trouble getting around on foot anyway.

I am also planning on packing light this trip, I am going bring a back pack but thinking I am going to go with a smaller pack I have and pack very light, I am also going to just bring my Samsung tablet this round to be able to do any work that I need to do on the trip which should work great. And a course a change of clothes, but not much else. 

I am going to buy the ticket tonight and plan on booking the trip for Friday Oct 7th. and the return will be on Sunday the 9th
