| Introduction | Carol Corbridge, 58, Boomer, Backpacker I started my backpacking career as a teenager, exploring Point Reyes National Seashore north of San Francisco. Like many people, I backpacked maybe once a summer throughout my early adult life and then became busy with other things and eventually didn’t go at all. carol In my forties, while managing my landscape construction business, I rediscovered the joys of the day hike: a shorter, easier form of wilderness experience. One thing lead to another and after a few years of weekend day hikes, backpacking became possible again. I found backpacking the perfect retreat from cell phones and freeways. Being older and wanting to extend my years on the trail and improve the quality of those years, I proceeded to find the lightest most comfortable gear available. Now I spend more than 60 nights in the wilderness under the stars each season. |
