Lessons learned

[SEIndSAM]

I used to do some backpacking, but my wife and I have gotten into hiking and daypacking.

(PERSONAL NOTE: when you are in your 50's its not as much fun to sleep on the ground as it used to be so our next trip will have us daypacking from Bed & Breakfast in one town to a B&B in a town farther down the trail . . . hence the term 'daypacking' as we will carry our daily needs, but no tent/sleeping bag).​

Well, we are in our early 50's ourselves, and what you said makes a lot of sense.
