Astronomy has added some extra weight to my backpack. I love to take my 15X70 Galileo binos now. After lugging those “buggers” ten miles they are going to get used.

Just imagine back-packing the 25x100mm! Man, you do it right. Next time, when it's warm again, count me in! I still have my one-man pup tent! Time to go backpack shopping...I don't have a fly-rod, but I do have a collapsing bait-casting setup with miniature reel. Jim, you've got me "mind-fishing" at Twin Lakes right now, waiting for darkness with my big binos... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
