There have been a lot of bummer threads on here recently, so I thought I'd share a photo essay I made of my wife's first overnight backpacking trip. Ultralight, of course. It can be found here. It's totally upbeat!

Trip reports are one of my favorite parts of BPL. You inspire me I've got a couple reports I could probably through up. Glad you guys had a good time.

Thanks guys, glad you liked! Luke - you should definitely get those up here. The woods are the best!

Great report, I'm glad you got her out and she had a great time. Good job getting her out.
