Black Diamond RPM

April 5th, 2010     Tags:, , ,

Here is another view of my day pack, the Black Diamond RPM. It is sold as a climber pack, but I think it works great as a day pack. It has all the right features and includes nice padding for carrying heavy camera gear.

On the way back from the Cape Lookout point, I got a better view of Oceanside and Netarts Bay from the North side of Cape Lookout. This would be a good spot for a sunset picture.
