Design Proposal

Haley, Shannon, Victor, Stephanie, Katie and

Aaliyah

Our group was tasked with the challenge of a 3 week hike on the
Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania and ending at Harpers Ferry. Our group
must meet the weight limit and the price limit for this trip, our price being
under $2000 and our weight limit be under 40 pounds per person. Each
person was assigned a group of items to research and supply for our
camping trip in order to successfully complete the 3 week hike. The list of
materials is below.
