yes, the artist has the photoshop gift indeed....just look at the skateboarder's face, especially his glasses, with subject matter like that its hard to go wrong.

These two have definately cleaned themselves up to present the best "yogi" appearance.......great work !!
Is that a kayak paddle carried by the Wyoming Skateboarder ? If so, a wise choice for multi-purposefullness.....aqua-blazing/tarp support/hiking staff and the largest trowel I have ever seen !

If you carry under 40 lbs. you ain't a backpacker.

Daggom,,, ya mean I've been buying all that expensive light weight gear only to drop outta backpacker status:eek:. I shoulda stayed at my original 85 lb pack. I remember hikin up Blood feelin like I was carryin a car or somethin. The stares I got:confused: ,,,, all this time I thought they were makin fun o me,,, they were really thinkin,,,,, "now there's a real backpacker":D

i watched a survival show, some dude was cross country skiing, never returned,,,,,the ski rental store realized it that night when the shop was closing....search teams were sent out the next morning, the ski shop people told the search team that the man they rented too was a long distance hiker having completed a major trail in the country, the next day in the early afternoon Wyoming Skateboarder was found....he lived.
