R. J. touring

R. J. liked to hike with a tumpline. It takes the weight off the shoulders and puts it on the spine, an acquired skill. He also wore his hands in his pockets, like his Dad (see below). Photo by Reiner Stenzel.

It was a tight packing with 6 people, big packs and a 50 lb Bernese Mtn dog.
R.J. did not like dogs, but "Lady Kaweah" fell in love with R.J., climbed on his lap, fell asleep and snored for the rest of the trip. R.J. was a patient survivor.
