Backpacking Overview

The first time I ever went backpacking was at one of the best locations in the world, Yosemite National Park. This overnight trip sleeping out in the woods in 1987 was a wonderful experience, that carried me into this unexpected hobby for years to come. Since that time I have been on a dozen backpacking adventures, and hope this can be something I will continue to do each year. I created this section in July 2025 and hope to start building it out asI make time for it. As we know, we all have plenty of time (24 hours a day), and we always have time for what we enjoy doing.
