Childhood Nature Memories!

[Sierra2015]

Recently there's been a few interesting pictures or videos popping up (a picture of one member on the trail as a baby clutching a toothbrush, another member posted a video of himself as a young man on the JMT) and that's got me interested!

So! Post a picture of yourself as a kid in nature. Maybe even your first experience hiking?

Edit: Or pictures of your kids in nature!

My brother and me. I think this is my first experience with snow! (No idea whose tree that is, haha. I don't remember ever having a Christmas tree.)

I still remember this hike. My dad and I had an all day outdoors experience. He took this picture.

And I'm pretty sure I developed it, hence the graininess. O.o

Aww.... sweetness! What a cutie pie, Sierra. That's a good picture of you and your brother! I see that red hair too!

I'll see if I can dig up some old pics too! Fun thread!

Thanks Mom!

Lol, I was so hopeful I'd see baby pics! But I guess this might just be something the two of us are interested in. O.o

That would be me with the glasses. I don't remember the trip. Maybe somewhere in the Catskills. The guy next to me was a friend of the family, not my dad.

[Sierra2015]

What a muscular boy! I can see the striations under your skin!

Awww... cute rafe.. I wonder what y'all were looking at over the edge of the rock. You don't remember the trip...


I clearly remember going to the Bronz Zoo in New York.... so funny!

Thanks likeahike... that's nice of you to say!

I love that pic of you Cadenza!! Adorable!!

[Sierra2015]

Cadenza doesn't look all that happy about the pack weight. Lol

[Tipi Walter]

All whiteblazers and all backpackers should study this pic carefully. It has everything. The old green cotton/canvas sleeping bag, the old canvas Yucca pack (without the frame??), the proper uniform, and the proper slightly forward lean. Excellent.

BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED!


Spring forward several decades and here is Cadenza with the same pack!! (no, it's not even close . . . .not the same pack . . . and it's not even his pack. It's my pack he's trying on for laughs).

[Tipi Walter]

And while we're at it we should PRAISE THE HOLY YUCCA PACK---


Here I am with my own little Yucca in the Texas heat of 1963 preparing to hit the trail.
