My Locale Midwestern United States
About Me I've loved backpacking, particularly in the mountains, since Boy Scout days in the seventies. Now serving as an Assistant Scoutmaster. Used to have the heaviest pack on trips :( . I've lightened up by a factor of two or better. Still learning. I enjoy backpacking and scrambling up 14ers & 13ers, both solo & with others, and have met some wonderful people high up in the backcountry.
