Packing for Whitewater :)

Next weekend will see us heading for Austria, the small village of Wildalpen where our club will spend a week fully dedicated to (almost) nothing but  whitewater kayaking.

22 active paddlers, 31 persons altogether - we won't be the smallest group around.

This weekend I set up the RV, added some boxes for more structured storage and switched on the fridge. Wednesday the boats will be loaded and Friday night will see us on the road.

The RV will be jam-packed as we are taking 3 paddlers with us. Meaning 3 Tents and luggage and neoprene inside the good ol' RV. On the upside, there will be 3 drivers so we can leave late and arrive in the morning to do some shopping and then settle in on the campground before 10 am. (at least, that's the plan).

Tomorrow we'll be shopping for food, deep-freeze some meats because last year that made everything so much easier. For even more streamlined packing, this time the meat will be frozen in rectangular boxes, to the small freezing-compartment in the RV can be put to optimized use :) This is important because Peter insists on taking along some ice-cream as well.

As an aside:
Last night somebody accidentally switched off the freezer/fridge when closing it and nobody noticed until... well, until the watery-ice had melted and dripped into the fridge-part, overflowed, flooded the living-area of the RV (as much as 1 l of liquid can flood an RV...) and EVERYTHING was sticky and in need of a thorough wiping.
Guess, who did that?
Right.
I hated it.
If that should ever happen again, ice-cream will be officially banned for life.
