Hello guys. I turned 70 last month. To celebrate, I'm going on a 4 day, self supported trip. All in 2 local counties, staying at private and KOA camp grounds. Total mileage for the trip will be about 75 mi. I plan on carrying breakfast and lunch food. My wife will visit me at each stop, and take me to dinner, probably a diner. I will have backup dinner food, if she can't make it.

The food I will carry will be freeze dried. All of the camp grounds will have electricity, but one. So charging my electronic toys, not a problem. I may use a solar panel, not sure yet.

I did a lot of bike touring back in my younger days. But I did keep all my panniers and even the bike, which I just restored. As far as gear goes, only need to get a sleeping bag and tent.

So I'm really getting excited to hit the road. Big difference between my old touring days and current, all the electronic gadgets. KB
