Tennessee Antique Trail: Nashville, Lebanon, & Cookeville
I follow every backroad and freeway to see where they lead

I am not a minimalist packer, so I like lots of pockets and bells and whistles that one typically finds on a rigid backed technical pack. Robert prefers a more unconstructed daypack. Come to think of it, our distinct preference for packs could be a metaphor for our personalities. Here are our daypack picks and impressions.
Larrabee State Park in Bellingham, WA
