With winter coming on fast, and the days getting cold and rainy, it's finally giving me time for some much-needed catch-up on the site. I've updated the home page again, this time adding a link to my real-time SPOT page. By clicking on this link, it will take you to a Google Maps page that will pinpoint my exact location as transmitted by my SPOT Personal Tracker. I've started using this on overnight and solo trips to keep the wife updated on my location and status. It gives the loved ones peace of mind, and even though I carry a GPS for Backpacker, it's fun to get home and see on the maps where I've been. Tracks and messages are only displayed for seven days from transmission, so I'll start posting notices on upcoming trips where tracks and messages will be transmitted.I'm also working on expanding my Take a Hike page with new trail reports and photos. I've just added the Enchantment Lakes in Washington. This was a 5-day backpack we did a couple years ago in the spectacularly beautiful Alpine Lakes Wilderness. I'll be expanding the image gallery for this hike soon. More new trail reports I'll be adding in the coming weeks will be from hikes and backpacks in Yellowstone and Haleakala Nat'l Parks, and Garibaldi Provincial Park and Banff Nat'l Park in Canada—all with linked image galleries, and the more recent ones with GPS tracks. There will be lots of new stuff coming, so check back occasionally to what's been added.
