[big packs] ...Which is why we traveled so slowly, taking plenty of time to rest.
Makes sense. Perhaps it would be very possible for me to carry a heavier pack, too, if the distances were correspondingly shorter. I have just been too chicken to try :-)
If you'd be interested and our toes, knees, schedules agree I would enjoy taking you on a short trip circa Silver or Blue Lake.
Ooo, I think I'd really enjoy that! They both sound beautiful.
I know of some terrain that isn't all that bad, and could be done in a weekend. I don't think I could promise more than 1-2 weekends/yr... but I would enjoy sharing what I know -- even if just to talk about it. :)
A weekend is all I've ever done, although I'd be open to trying longer ones if (as you so eloquently put it) toes, knees, and schedules agree. And talking about it is half the fun, I think! Well, okay, a third of the fun. :-)
And psst, I'm not that "big" either. I'm 5'3".
I just tend to think of myself as teeny... at 5'4" I know I'm not, really, but I've got it stuck in my mind. Out of curiosity, is your mom (Ms 85 Pound Pack Hauler) any bigger? I'm trying to picture an 85 lb pack on my mom, who's five foot spit, and the image is almost funny.

Thanks! I didn't recognize you until I saw the photo, and (equally important) the names in its title. I have such a time making the mental connection between a face-to-face name and a LJ name! And hey, yeah, nice shirts. :-)
