Elias went out for a one-night backpack this week with his Nana, Pop, the dog Elsa, and his cousin. They hiked in, oh, a short distance, before setting up camp and eating. They came out the next morning, all smiles, apparently. The red pack, rented from a local shop, was taken back for the slightly smaller blue pack. Even that one did not fit so well because the hip belt had little padding (and his hips have little padding, contours).
