My friends Ken and Kelsie are embarking on their long planned backpacking trip (13 days) around Mount Rainier. There is still a fair amount of snow in places, especially at Panhandle Gap. They have been working hard for the past four months or so in getting their legs strong. They will not put themselves in harms way for any reason, so I am comfortable in knowing that this will be a good trip for them. With 22,000 feet of elevation gain along this iconic 93 mile trail, I am fairly certain that there will be some sore legs when they are done.
Kelsie is taking along eight batteries for her camera, as she will be fully documenting this grand adventure!
Safe trip and have fun my friends!

This photo was taken two years ago on our hike to Dega Peak.
Also, thanks for the Explore #100!
Backpacking White Sands
How is White Sands different than all other dunes in the US? Well when you leave all the vegetation you get a feeling you are in the worldest largest unused ashtray. When I was a kid and didn't know any better I would play with the sand in ashtray because it was so foreign to me, of course parental supervision ended that quickly.
Backpacking here was great, just imagine one of the whitest places on earth at night with the glow of the full moon.. .. . It's probably the brightest natural darkness you can find.
This photo was just a spur of the moment idea as much of my is just spontaneous just as much as it is planned. I had the flash in the photobag since I didn't need my regular backpacking pack.

An overnight backpack trip to Crow Creek Lake, Norse Peak Wilderness, Naches Ranger District, Yakima County, Washington. The trailhead is at Ravens Roost.
The Norse Peak Fire burned most of this area in 2017.

I love making backpacks like Joel and Ellie's so I was really glad to make another! Any ideas on putting weapons on the side like they do in game?
I think this is pretty cool if I do say so myself! These are backpacks for a school help project for kids who have trouble getting supplies. They have lots of school goodies inside. I photographed the event, taking more traditional shots, but liked this one the best!
Please don't post your photos here nor GLITTERY IMAGES. They will be removed. Don't invite me to any group. I will not accept ;-)
Greg Sykes (DSI James Dean Ken doll) starts his backpacking journey by fording a river while vacationing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Collection in a country Museum. Early version of today's backpacks? I remember having a cardboard one as shown; also one similar to the back left ( not sure what it was made of) and when about 9 I was given mu aunt's old leather one. Such a lot of memories there.
I've tried to shoot at federation square before but I've made the mistake of getting that god awful architecture in the background. It's a nice spot and there are plenty of people that go there to chill or use it as a rendezvous location. This strangers was one of those, she had a spot on the stairs and was waiting for her friend who was running terribly late. I believe the two of them where from Yorkshire in England and are over here backpacking down the east coast of Australia.
I told her about 100 strangers for a while, she seemed fairly interested. But couldn't get over my voice. She was convinced that I had an accent from somewhere and suggested perhaps Germany. I took some photos near the beginning of our encounter but having spotted this one and the one after, which was similar but with her eyes closed in a smile, I decided that I had what I wanted and stopped shooting.
We chatted for a fair while, and she told me about how in Kuala Lumpur she'd been approached by a few people who wanted to take her picture. But, as if she was a celebrity or something, they wanted to be in the picture with her. So they'd get a friend or a passer by to take a photo of them and her standing together. Eventually my knees got tired and I thanked her and headed off, saying I hoped her friend arrived soon. She said he'll be getting a punch when he does.
This is the sixty eigth portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.
I'm DEFINITELY going to make more of these! Blogged: socalsewingmom.blogspot.com/2013/01/backpack-backpack.html
