first backpacking trip of the season

Pictures from backpacking in George Washington National Forest are up on Alex’s site. We had a great weekend – spam, cognac, bear poop, bawdy French songs, that last killer hill in the cold rain. 

We talked for a few minutes with a man who was in the middle of what he called “a 40-mile day,” obviously training for some sort of ultra. With the Cleveland half-marathon behind me (still sad I couldn’t run the full), I’m excited to get out in the woods to train for Jay. Giggity.

Completely aside from the privacy issues, these types of searches have no point. Everything that could possibly be stored on a hard drive can be easily accessed over the nets, so what, exactly, are we protecting our borders from?

It’s like not allowing people to carry toothpaste through airport security, but then letting your friend just throw it over the gate to you. Why even bother with the first restriction since it doesn’t do shit and just inconveniences travelers?
