Packing for Ecuador

There it is...the big yellow bag:

It is old, dirty, and filthy....but it has been up Mt. Kilimanjaro where Porters ran past me on the trail enroute to the next camp with the bag on their heads.  It has been carried by mules to the Aconcagua base camp (Argentina).  It has been dragged up Denali and buried in snow while we went for the top.  It rested comfortably in my hotel room in Russia while we climbed Mt. Elbrus.  It has been climbing in Mexico...supported climbs of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Shasta....and now Ecuador....and it stands out from the rest of the bagged luggage at the aiport.
