My new pack

I did it! I finally did it! after three years of saying that I want to buy a nice backpacking pack, I finally just broke down and purchased one. I searched around awhile not really looking for anything specific, though I had some ideas of the features I wanted. Plus, price was the most important thing to me, because you could easily spend anywhere from $90-$500. So after searching I finally found one that I liked. It has 5,000 Cu. in of space which will allow me to pack for the whole week and is bigger and cheaper than the last pack I looked at. I got it for $89, which makes me feel as though I stole it. :) I found it at REI-outlet. I have purchased from them before and love their stores (wish we had one in Cincy) Every other site had the bag for $201+ So I think I did well. The coolest part is the exterior sleeping bag compartment, which allows me to not have to unload my bag everytime I make camp. So now that it is on the way, I will have to make some packing trips soon. YEAH! I love this time of year.
