I'll have to consider that for my Ranger one day...

But more tastefully, of course.

was his name ian by chance?

I forgot his name... I have it in my notes but finding them is like finding the transparencies from that trip. It'll take time... send in the clones.

I remember that he was leaving the lodge that he had been working at along the Long Trail in the Green Mtns that day. That's why he had such a large pack.

Is that a problem for vehicles left at trailheads? Theft I mean, not interesting paint jobs.

It can be... it's one of the reasons I painted my 4WD van with white house paint with a brush in 15 minutes... and kept some clean trash to strew around inside when I would be on the trail... no one looking in the window would think that under the pile was a lot of expensive photo equip.

however, that van is too rough riding on smooth highways and not suitable for trips like the 14,000 mile one that I took last autumn (when I made these photos) I normally travel now with a much newer van and tend to dayhike to prevent break-ins when on long trips. I don't think many vehicles are stolen but they are broken into... This pickup however gets parked for long periods of time at this trailhead because the owner works at a lodge along the Long Trail and is away for a week at a time.

I love the people we meet when going out into the backcountry. Everyone is so nice and is full of character and stories.
