Hiking with our new backpacks

We've been trying out some of the equipment we'll take with us on our Camino. We just got this fancy new daypacks we'll be using and have been hiking with them to get use to them.

Since we are not carrying all our belongings we didn't need large backpacks So far we love them. They have special panels in the back so there is ventilation and your back doesn't get all sweaty. And they have lots of pockets to store everything we might need.

You can't tell in this photo but we actually have cans of tomatoes in our packs. We needed to get use to more weight and threw them in before we left the house.

This photo was taken overlooking Walden Pond in Lynn Woods. This is a different Walden Pond then Henry David Thoreau’s in Concord.
