Maiden Voyage

Went for a walk this morning with the dogs.  Nothing unusual about that.  However this walk included a new backpack!  I loaded it up to a total weight of approximately 14 pounds and headed out into the heat for a 2-1/2 mile walk.  A very short distance by thru-hiking standards, but with the degree of difficulty increased by the heat and the dogs, I figure I should get credit for at least 4 or 5 miles :)


I like the pack, but it's not perfect.  The hip pockets are small and made smaller by the fact that the inner frame and shoulder straps lay over them.  Also, I cannot access the side entrance of the side pockets with the pack on.  Maybe I just need to do some stretching exercises!  Small things that I'm sure I'll figure out.
