Continuation hike of the Northville Placid Trail: Piseco to Wakely Dam

Looks like a great time. How was the new pack?

Thanks a bunch! The Baltoro didn't quite work out and I was astonished at the measures Gregory took to reduce pack weight sacrificing durable clips and not backing the fabric on critical stitching areas of HIGH stress. Chris's cinch buckle thing at the top of the bucket snapped off within the first like 10 minutes of him just packing it right after we got his home. I'm on the hunt for a dedicated summer pack most likely going with an older medium size Osprey Atmos 65 with the Airspeed suspension or something alike that I won't need to jam up with my winter layering.

Two words GRANITE GEAR!! Can't recommend them enough. My Leopard AC 58 is the most comfortable pack I have ever owned.

Still catching up on stuff from my Long Trail trip. Great report, pictures and accomplishment! Really happy you all had a blast.

It looks like Lake Placid will be the spot for our post hike beer
