He is living in Custer, SD. Whenever I think of SD, I do not think of backpacking or hiking but going there changed my mind. It is beautiful there with lots of good hiking. It would be a climber's paradise. Unfortunately my friend was sick the whole time but I did get some nice hikes in.

This system weighs 14.2 oz including Goal Zero's NiMH AA batteries and was called their 3.5 kit when I purchased it. It gave me all the power I could use with my Droid which was my GPS, email, trail journaling, YouTubeing, web access, video camera, still camera, night time reading, and MP3 player (with music and audio books). The phone was on ALL THE TIME .... I loved it. I was also carrying Half Mile's paper maps printed on letter size paper with compass but they never came out of their zip lock bag .... I found the Backcountry Navigator to be fantastic and my phone was in my shirt pocket ready for use at all times. I would still be on the trail using this system if it had not been for the stress fracture in my upper tibia. Now for weights, kits, etc: (yes, Goal Zero's web page is ... let's just say .... confusing.)

Yahoo was hacked. As a result if your e-mail was open when it happened and you clicked on a certain yahoo home page article (not ad) they harvested your e-mail address, password and all groups you are members of. They are then sending spam to all your lists (whether or not you have them in your address book), along any emails in your inbox or sent box. THE SOLUTION to this problem is to change your e-mail password.
