My dad and I have been backpacking Sequoia National Park each summer the last three years. After he retired he took up ultralight backpacking in a big way...and now I'm hooked.
Wow, he's 60-something and in incredible shape. I'm reasonably fit, but the elevation can take a toll on my legs by the time I'm back at work on Monday. For the record, I made it to work, but Tuesday I took a day off to let my legs unravel back to normal.
Funniest
moment this trip...Dad chatting with a park ranger and asking her if
she'd be interested in meeting my younger brother. "I'm flattered, but
I'm really off the market now."
