A shot from a little side trip I took, to the top of Bear Mountain in Clearwater National Forest.
My hiking gear and my camera were my biggest luxuries in terms of weight/volume, but I think they were worthwhile. I was unhappy to get rained on up here, but it wasn't exactly surprising after having been rained on for something like 10 out of the first 13 days.
>>193557I started with 2 spares and bought 2 more in Illinois. I ended with one unused spare, so I threw out 5 tubes. I used patches for a number of flats, but I probably didn't have more than a dozen over the 4800 miles.
