To celebrate the wonder that is early-summer backpacking, I’ll be holding my second vaguely-annual trip report contest. The rules are as follows:

-a report telling the story of a multi-day outdoor adventure must be composed/edited/etc, posted online, and linked to in the comments of this post (http://bedrockandparadox.com/2012/06/15/june-trip-report-contest) by July 16th at midnight (MDT)

-said trip must have taken place at least partly in June of 2012

-depending on the number of entrants and my own whimsy, I will select a number of finalists, which will be posted here and voted on by readers for 48 hours

-the author(s) of the report with the most votes will win the race pack, which will be shipped at my expense anywhere in the world



Head to the aforementioned link on my blog for more info and links to pictures of the pack.

Deadline for submission?

July 16th @ midnight. I.e. when I get back from AK.

Word.

Bump.


I'm drafting some recent TRs here, whether they like it or not.

Dave, thanks for taking the time and expense to do this. my latest trip report (here) was taken partly in May and partly in June. Is it viable for the contest?

You bet. Was going to enter you myself if you didn't do so first. ;)
