I have to agree with you that the ukulele is the best instrument (aside from a harmonica) for backpacking in the wilds. I used to take my Martin Backpacker (compact guitar), but even that was a bit cumbersome. Now I take my tiny little soprano ukulele. It's gotten a little banged up, but it's worth having at the campsite come twighlight. Btw, which trail in the Trinity Alps? I've only been there once but I loved it. I was totally empty and the lake we travelled up to was so gorgeous, set up against the mountains (water was amazingly cold). Aloha. Nice blog!
