Backpanniers backaches

Driving back to town from the ferry landing today, I saw these guys on the road. Four in all, one of which had medium sized panniers, backpack, and one of those green three or four burner Coleman stoves bungied to his rear rack... ouch!

They must have been going to Moran State Park, another fifteen minutes by car and up a long steep grade... even by car standards.

Clearly they didn't know what they were getting into, and all this on a day when the temperature index was almost 80 F. I can't imagine they had to much fun biking. Anyone call for a chiropractor?!
