Hello from Spokane, WA. I am 48 and just getting back into backpacking, something I haven't done since I was a boy scout as a kid! I already have a ton of decent, and relatively light, gear since I motorcycle camp a lot and was just given a new Deuter backpack as a wedding gift 2 months ago. I am looking forward to this first season of backpacking and getting it all figured out. Got lucky and a one of my coworkers is also getting back into it as well so we are sharing info, ideas and planning some short trips for the year.

Welcome from the Big Sky county (Montana). My daughter and her family just moved back to Montana from Spokane. I always enjoyed going to the city and visiting her.

Welcome form Maryland. Feel free to post any questions you might have. There is a ton of knowledge here, & people who love to share it! I was 54 when I started to hike. It is NEVER too late.

Welcome from the SF Bay. A very very long time ago, I went to school in Spokane (Whitworth). Pretty downtown there, and you have good access to some less-used areas (as well as being really quite close to the Canadian Rockies--get your passport!).

Welcome, from central Texas.
I remember going to the World's Fair in Spokane (1974?).
