Backpacking Trip Reports Index 2011+
« on: January 29, 2012, 09:02:39 AM »
We have had so many awesome trip reports in the last few months  :icon_biggrin: and when I was bringing the Backpacking Trips Reports Index up to date I discovered that the forum software will only allow 20,000 characters in a post.  So the original Backpacking Trip Reports Index got too long and I had to split it into two threads. 

All reports 2010 and before are here and I will continue updating the Index with new reports on this thread.  If there is not a report here, in an area you are looking for, be sure to look in the other index.

Enjoy.  As usual, if I miss a backpacking trip report that should be here let me know.
