I went to Sports Chalet today...I am not even sure where the closest R.E.I. is to me...I am thinking Rancho Cucamonga..I am not sure..looked at both packs and sleeping bags..they had some really nice packs...prices seemed to be mostly around $150..I definitely like the internal frames..sleeping bags, I will probably go with down...around 3 pounds..a price tag of around 100$.
After that, went to the library, read backpacker magazine and then sat there for 2 hours in the library reading the getaway of the John Muir trail or something..cool book..I will check it out when i find my library card.
Very cool how you finish this hike right after Mt Whitney..oh yeah, the Whitney Portal..
