Ok, so i am on foot. I have been walking half of my commute,
I am getting ready for a pack trip in July and another one to the Colorado River in September or so. I need to get my blown out knees to work better. so I am:
1. Walking on them
2. Using linamint
3. Taking cod liver oil from a jar with a spoon
4. Contemplating taking some
5. Using the hot tub
6. Praying
and 7.
July is a trip to the Illinois River in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness in Southern Oregon. It will be a multi-day backpack trip with serious hill climbing and 10 mile days. Character building, I'd imagine.
The photo is a scanned 4"x5" Polaroid taken with my Graflex after carrying that 45 lb. beast 4.5 miles to Babyfoot Lake, in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. I took this picture in the year following the Biscuit Fire, which was the largest fire in Oregon's history. We walked through a smoky charred forest to get here.

Great picture! That's what i need. Some wild outdoors and some blisters on me feet, like in the good old days. Cheers.
Your back packing pictures and stories got me thinking about giving it a try again. Haven't done it since the 80's up in the Yosemite area. I was looking at your backpacking checklist though. My goodness! I don't think I could afford to get back into the sport! Too much money tied up in bikes right now...
