I love this! What's funny is when I was in my late 20s and early 30s and fit and light and backpacking, my buddy would tell me that backpacking was too hard and I needed to do river trips. Such a funny thing to say at that age, but I knew he was right.

I have a smile on my face typing this. Glad you're out there doing this stuff. I've got to work my ass off this summer, but hopefully I can get on my mtn bike a few days a month.
