Spring is in the Air

I was getting my backpack ready for my weekly hike and throwing my winter and rain gear to the side felt so good. The only problem is that my pack is empty now. I am sure it was not that big at the start of the season! The coats, pants, socks, shoes and all the extra I have packed all winter have stretched my pack to enormous proportions. Soon the canyons will be acceptable for us warm weather canyoneers and the empty space will be filled with a harness, ropes, helmets and such. In the mean time I plan to enjoy my light weight pack for the day.
