I took this photo in 1981 with my analogue Nikon FE camera and 35mm slide film, and later digitalised y using a Nikon Coolscan film scanner.

I was camping at a lake all last week and while it wasn’t a backpacking trip, we were out in the wilderness just far enough to have spotty to nearly non-existent cell coverage so it really felt like we were roughing it by engaging in face-to-face communication with other humans! 😆
I took a few versions of this photo one evening and couldn’t decide which one I would post. I asked several of my fellow campers which if the three they preferred and most came up with this first image. None picked my favorite.
Check out all thedifferent versions and let me know which is your favorite.
Behind the hedge, Trump International Golf Club. He played golf here during kids funerals just 40 miles away.
The prize for the “Most Interesting Backpack” at the Castlebar International 4 Day Walks (if there were such a prize) would surely go to this gentleman. Of course it could very well be just a case of what to do if the baby-sitter fails to turn up. However, I think it is more likely to be a case of starting them young!
Either way, I am full of admiration for this dedicated walker. This was taken at the start, and I did not see him on the 10K walk, which means he carried his precious load for either 20K or 40K on the day, and probably for all four days of the walks!
So this is a terrible photo, taken with my phone of a portion of the output of one of the cameras of my security system, complete with moire patterns from the display pixel matrix, but it's worthy, I think, because of the subject.
These folks were trooping past, clearly on their way from somewhere they had been, to somewhere very much else (or through elsewhere) they wanted to be, and so the backpacks were pretty much de rigueur. For the people.
Definitely the first time I'd seen a dog backpacking. :)
