Gone Hiking

My friend Steph and I will be hiking in the Sawtooth Wilderness area for a few days. (Kim may or may not post something while I'm gone.) This will be my first overnight backpacking trip. I'm excited and a bit nervous. After all, I'm 52 years old and just in OK shape.



All this stuff....



has to fit in here....



Total weight; around 40-45lbs. Not too bad. And it will get lighter the more we eat! I've camped all my life, but never backpacked into a wilderness area. I'm really looking forward to it.

I'll be taking my new trusty little camera so I should be able to post plenty of pictures when we return. See you in a couple of days.....
