FYI, for Christmas I bought my wife a Nikon Tele-Touch 300.  It is NOT
an SLR but it DOES take full-frame 35mm film.  It is lightweight,
and as the name suggests does have a limited zoom capability.  It
includes a built-in flash, DL223 lithium battery, and has DX coding
to set ASA/ISO film speed automatically when you use 35mm film
cartidges that are so marked.

It is NOT waterproof.  It will probably crash big time if you drop it.

It was also only a hair over $100 and it takes dynamite pictures.  It
has a self winder and can be made ready to use in seconds, which, when
combined with the leight weight and physically small size would
probably be considered desireable for most backpacking.

Overall, she likes it and is happy with it.

HINT: next time you are going to hike/backpack in the mountains someplace
and want a lightweight, cheap quick and dirty camera to take decent
panoramic wide-view shots with, try the Kodak Panoramic 35 box.  And
I do mean BOX.  If you've never seen one of these, it is essentially
a disposable camera with film already in it.  This particular one
uses a regular 35mm film and shoots a narrow strip through the middle
of the frame.  Kodak processing equipment now counts this as a
standardized print size, and returns a respectable panoramic print
that is about 10" long and 3 1/2 or 4 inches high.

We took one along last November when we hiked up to the Le Conte Lodge
in the Smokies.  Got some very nice landscape shots with it.  You
won't get the image quality you might from the aforementioned Nikon,
but then you also aren't out bunches of bucks if it goes down the
side of a mountain, either.  :-)

Use to be my favorite backbacking game was hacky-sack.  The reason I
don't bring my hacky-sack along much any more is that the game requires
that I play it alot to be good enough to make the game fun.  The past

OK, go four-wheeling sometime anywhere in the San Juan Mountains of
Colorado.  You will encounter more mine shafts and ruins than you care
to photograph.  It's fun rockhounding in the tailing piles and looking
into the weatherbeaten cabins, but stay out of the mines, they're

For overnighters, I like Pinto Basin at Joshua Tree Nat'l Monument.  It's
a very large ancient river floodplain, now entirely dry, which lies at the
meeting point of the Sonoran and Mojave ecosystems, so you get a lovely
mix of species from both.  The Basin also has some beautiful dunes, old
mines, and so forth.  I suggest you leave from the Turkey Flat backcountry
board and hike to and along the base of Pinto Mountain -- you hit some
interesting terrain, and can get great views by scrambling just a little
way up the mountain's foothills.  Let me know if you need more info, and
enjoy yourself!

Whether one uses a tent or not is strictly a matter a personal
preference- there are always trade-offs between weight and personal
comfort, and this is certainly no exception. I've tarped and tented quite
a bit in the Northern US Rockies and the Boreal Forests on in and
around Lake Superior, and have found that tarping works quite well
as long as you are fortunate enough to be camping away from insects.

The rain is usually no big deal in these areas- small drops, only
brief squalls during the summer, but during fly season, the insects
will make your life miserable if there are any large mammals and/or
standing water in the area. You can get around this by setting up
a face net/canopy and hiding in your sleeping bag, but then you're still
going to have those friendly humming noises all night and you'll lose
a good deal of the advantages of tarping, like a nice view of the stars
as you sleep, etc...

If your're hitting some place like the Moab area, or a dry mountain
range, yes, by all means, tarp it. The extra weight off your shoulders
is great!

Doesn't work in practice.  Unless the mud is *very* fluid, it builds
up on the snowshoes until you can't walk.

I have known a goose hunter who got the longest, widest,
lightest wooden waterskis he could find, removed the
keels, and walked in to a deep-marsh blind by staying on the
mudbanks.  He said it was a lot of work, but worth it for the
solitude.  Biggest problem was adapting the "bindings" for
use with hipboots, and getting them to stay on reliably.


Hmmm, maybe a new serious-backcountry trend for those of us that
want to be alone -- deep-marsh camping, with floating tents,
floating stoves, a new line of mud-colored designer outerwear ...

oh.  what I'm describing already exists, sorta.
See the Cabela's catalog.   Duck hunter fashion statements already

A good example of why it is important to look back frequently so you
can see what the trail will look like going out.  Not only trail
markers but natural landmarks will look very different from the
other direction.  Of course you can also reverse the process and
look back on the way out, thus seeing more or less what you saw on
the way in (assuming of course you are on route).

This is a very unusual year, much dryer than normal.  Therefore, you might
encounter icy conditions in the chute above the hogsback, just below the
summit.  With the dry conditions this year the 'shrund below the chute
may be open.  I recommend that you be prepared to use crampons, especially
for the descent.

>What are the snow and weather conditions typically like at the end of April?

You might encounter a blizzard or warm, sunny weather.  Check weather reports
before beginning the ascent and be prepared for change.

I will be hiking in Grand Canyon National Park soon.  Via mail
I asked for a backcountry permit to backpack down to the river
at Phantom Ranch and camp there.  I asked about two months ago,
and was told that there were no more available permits for the time
I will be there.

I understand that I needed to make the reservation much sooner, but it
was a spur of the moment decision and I have already bought the plane
tickets.

My questions:  What are my options re: backpacking?  What are the
odds of getting an unclaimed permit?  If permits are not available
for the main corridors (Bright Angel and S. Kaibab), is there still
a possibility that permits are available for other areas in the park?

Can a novice backpacker dayhike part of the Hermit Trail without too much
trouble?  [I've hiked Zion N.P., Bryce Canyon N.P., and S.Kaibab to
Tonto to Bright Angel, but have minimal wayfinding skills outside
of reading a topo map.]

Thanks for any help - I can't wait to get there - but I need a better
idea of how the place works...

They sound like prime candidates for an orienteering exercise.  I've only
been orienteering once, as a junior-high fieldtrip in the Swiss Alps back
in around 1965, so I know that it can be done with inexperienced students
(all of us but the instructor were inexperienced).

The exercise I was on was a 1 day adventure as part of a 3-day weekend
outing.  We left the chalet at around 10 AM with sack lunches in our
day packs, and we were expected back well before sunset.

Each pair of students was given a topographic survey map, a compass, and a
small notebook and pencil.  The maps were the Swiss equivalent of USGS
maps (they are actually a bit better than USGS maps).  Each station on the
course was numbered and had written instructions for finding the next
station.  Some steps from one station to the next were given in direct
form, for example, "go 1/4 km straight west."  Others were given in terms
of the map "for example, go 2 km straight east of landmark X", where you
had to find the target on the map, figure out where you are, and then go
to the indicated point.

There were plenty of minor misadventures in the class, but everyone learned
quite a bit about maps and navigation.  A fair number of people got
temporarily lost, but they all found themselves.

We weren't in the wilderness!  We were below treeline in an inhabited area,
with upland pastures and an occasional chalet.  Exactly the same exercise
in a wilderness area would be quite dangerous, but once a student has done
it a few times, they should be able to do the same exercises just about
anywhere (trackless flat land or water excluded).

Here in Colorado, all sorts of them, generally mining related, generally
abandoned since around 1890.  Pretty neat ruins, if you don't mind that
in most cases their complete-return-to-nature is only about 20% complete.

One of the neatest is (was) a miner's cabin at 14000' on a flat just
below the summit of Mount Democrat.  It collapsed since the first time I
saw it, in 1977, when it was still recognizable as a cabin.

Can you be more specific about what you're looking for?

A proposal to build a tram from the Valley floor to Glacier Point was kicked

Ray was going to send me an FPM-300 belt for a fellow ham in distress some
