The other morning the FedEx guy arrives at my door with a package. Not wholly unexpected, since I've been expecting a few last gear items before we fly out for the trip next week. I sign off, and he hands me a giant heavy box, overnighted from some lady in California. Hmm?

I opened the thing and found 4 cases of SPAM, in 3 oz single-serving packets. That's 20 pounds of SPAM, overnighted to my door! Who'd have thought!

It turns out Cory had called Hormel foods sometime back about possibly providing some meat packets for our trip as a "mini-sponsorship"... hey, can't overlook protein out there. Well whaddaya know, they came through! I have no idea what I'll do with 20 pounds of this stuff (more than I'll ever carry on a hike), but we do appreciate the sentiment! We'll definitely take some of the stuff along. Anyone know how SPAM handles in a dehydrator?

I just thought I'd share. I found it a very random and amusing experience... I mean, how often does this really happen?
