40 lbs Sterling

While camping at Smuggler's Notch last weekend, we took a hike out of the notch up to Sterling pond -- elevation 3500 feet.

It's about 1,000 feet up and 2.2 miles. And I had 40 lbs of Robby and Supplies on my back. It took us 2 hours round trip, which is the posted average time. Not too shabby.
