Those flutterbys are amazing.
One for the rook
One for the crow
One to rot
and one to grow

Are you satisfied with your choice of solar panel? I am interested in something of this nature
to take with me when camping.
That backpack looks damn heavy for a long trek....

Yeah i'm real happy with my solar panel. I bought it from a fasttech for 20 bucks. It weighs 4.5 ounces. (the same as most battery banks) with the volt/amp meter it was 5.5 ounces. Complete with cables, camera charger and doodads, it's 8 ounces,Oldjoints wrote:Are you satisfied with your choice of solar panel? I am interested in something of this nature

Note it's practical in-field wattage is 3.5W.
It work flawlessly, even after getting some nasty scratches on it. it's durability was a strong point for hiking.
I recommend it! It still working at home keeping my phone charged, never plugged the phone in a wall socket, ever. which i find so coool!
Ah ya noticed, Yep that is an awful heavy pack( i'm too old for this shit), this is a party hike for me, with all the xtras, Camera, ereader, music and all the electronics, a frame pack for comfort in camp and on the trail, separate day pack for the numerous day hikes i have planned (such as mnt Lassen.), camp shoes and whatnots. it adds up.
but the size is needed for the food for a few of my longer stretches of 10 days and longer.

Ahh I forgot to mention the first bear sighting. It was the Night after coming off Lassen, a small male black bear came into my camp right at dusk, apparently I dozed off, a long day, and woke when I heard a twig snap, sat up fast, he seemed as surprised as me, left quickly and never returned. Hardly worth mentioning..
A bear canister would have been a complete waste. Good thing I didn't have one.
Snag Lake has this huge lava flow named the Fantastic Lave Beds on it's northern end, It's over 2 miles long as the crow flies. And on the other end is Butte Lake, it and Snag were once one lake and the basalt flow cut 'em in two. Unique. At camp this deer wander awful close. I thought she was mooching for food, but she was just after the salt in my piss where I took a leak. She ate it all.

Next day the trail followed the edge of the lave bed.
But colorfully aesthetic.
Looking over at Lassen westward. Pumice fields. Really hard to walk on, worst than walking on beach sand. Cinder Cone across the pumice beds.
Crazy ass rock for climbing on, will cut you up!But colorfully aesthetic.

"A nobler want of man is served by nature, namely, the love of Beauty.
First, the simple perception of natural forms is a delight. The influence of the forms and actions in nature, is so needful to man, that, in its lowest functions, it seems to lie on the confines of commodity and beauty. To the body and mind, which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street, and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself. The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough."
~ Excerpt from Nature by Emerson.
Dropped the pack and took a day hike up the tourist trail up Cinder Cone. Frustrating trail. Ever step forward slides ya back 2 steps. But the views!! "We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough." Indeed Mr. Emerson.
The top and the Crater.

Snag Lake to the south where I camped last night
Painted dunes below me. Cinder Cone rim and Lassen in the distance "the simple perception of natural forms is a delight"
More delight, Sulfur Flower.
And the smiling faces immersed in nature and beauty, Doesn't hurt the ride's for free.
And Butte lake north of me. They're split in half by the big ass lava flow.Painted dunes below me. Cinder Cone rim and Lassen in the distance "the simple perception of natural forms is a delight"
