    SOBO MEGA
    Started on Katahdin on July 4th. I'm pretty much untrained so have just now reached Caratunk. I'm keeping a journal on TrailJournals.

    I saw several of these up in the UP last week, actually, and related this story to my sister, since I just ran across it somewhere else. There's a historical marker in Wilmette, so I suppose it must...

    If I wanted a heavy, robust pack, I would just get an external frame for 1/3 the price, but that's just my personal preference for carrying heavy loads in style. That tent looks nice. I'm curious if...
