[pct-l] Question about a backpack

[Paul A]

I purchased a vintage Lowe alpine expedition pack that appears to be in
excellent condition for 40 bucks and I am wondering if anyone knows anything
about those older canvas packs? It's internal frame, with adjustable
suspension, top loading... So far I love the pack for the way it transfers
all the weight to the hip belt..I am planning on using it mostly for local
stuff to condition my body for the PCT in 2011...Thoughts, comments?

week in the cleveland national forest since mid summer...Love leaving
civilization behind and getting a breath of CLEAN AIR! <<<
