Our Wonderland Trail backpack trip is only six weeks away, time to get more serious with carrying a more substantial pack. Today was also a first with my new backpack (Deuter ACT 65+10), loaded up with a total of 30lbs. What a joy to dump 2gals of water at the summit to lighten the load for the descent (my knees are grateful…)
