Method for this Madness

People want to know how I'm carrying the stones.  The first stone was just a little two pounder that I picked up one morning and then didn't put down until I reached the office.  I could carry it easily in one hand without attracting too much attention.  After a few more of those, I decided to carry larger rocks and began using a small Eddie Bauer hand bag.  That was fine until I tried to carry a 35 pound stone (the one shown as "The Beginning" in the first post on this blog).  I needed something more substantial!

I bought a sturdy Mountain Equipment backpack.  With it, I can carry up to 40 lbs for 2k with reasonable comfort.  I still use the handbag, and that allows me to carry another 15 or 20 lbs.  Both bags are standing up remarkably well, and if they make it through this project, I'll give them 5-star reviews.

The handbag also holds my lunch and some gym clothes for daily workouts at our fitness facility.  I've stopped carrying my computer every day since the extra 6 or 7 lbs was not worth the odd time that I actually wanted to fire it up at home.
