Hey wait a minute. I'm a senior???
Backpacking takes time, money, physical ability, mental resilience, knowledge, and experience. But few people bring all these to the table. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. What you lack in one area you make up for in another. I am hoping that when I get to be a REAL senior, what I will lack in physical ability will be made up for in all the other areas (where seniors can actually have an advantage).
