My backpack after day one

Hiking near Mount Rogers.

This backpack was made using the made-by-rae toddler backpack with some modifications. I added ventilated side pockets, two front pockets, side tabs and embroidered Dr. Seuss

The inspiration came from the Pottery Barn Dr. Seuss backpack (www.potterybarnkids.com/products/dr-seuss-backpack/) but was no longer available. Mom wanted a similar look and keep with the red/blue theme and the rest was history.

I'm doing it right.

was a 'league of nations' at the Myalbangera Outstation near Griffith NSW over Easter. Being a cheapskate i pitched my tent on the grounds and used the facilities. During the day i would go off by myself birding, and at night join the mad, young backpackers in celebrating end of vintage/harvest, as most of them were involved in fruit picking to subsidise their journeys.

This is my backpack for my upcoming travels. It's got enough gear in it to travel indefinitely I hope. I ironed on 2 patches. One for my favorite travel show by far Departures which I own all the DVD's for. And the other is a cool patch I found that has the Canada flag and the provincial flag of Saskatchewan which is where I am from.

Start of our hike at the biggest living non-clonal organism on Earth. We then took the Trail of 100 Giants to Crescent Meadow--the official start of the High Sierra Trail.
