Backpack Adventures

After talking to a friend this weekend about the book "The Secret" I contemplated a thought of feeling prosperous. It seems that the thought turned into a result this week. I went to my mailbox and inside I found a wonderful REI gift card from my brother. The gift was for my Birthday back in July, but the timing could not have been better. While getting ready for my trip I was trying to figure out how I would transport my items in an efficient manner. The REI card proved to be the perfect solution. I trekked over to REI and picked up a beautiful backpack that I can use for this trip and many hiking adventures. The pack is a beautiful red and grey with black straps. I took some time this morning and packed all of the things I would need for the trip and I realized that I still have a lot of room to bring things back. I found the different pockets very useful for separating items and organizing my gear.

The backpack is made by Osprey.
