Nice writeup - you're a brave soul indeed (there's no way I'd post my wifes weight on a website!) - betcha you carry a lighter pack for the next trip - as for selecting a campsite from a topo map - great idea - but stay flexible 'cause sometimes what looks great on paper is awful in person!

Kids - man - take your kids backpacking - opens a whole new world up for them. Yeah, I know, you end up playing pack mule for 'em - but it's big time fun. Keep the walk short and try to find an interesting place to camp for the night - but kids are a lot easier to please than adults -
