    It's not that old (or am I getting on in years?). This is a Kelty Tioga, circa late 70's I'd guess. I carried a slightly newer royal blue one when I hiked the Long Trail in '79. I finally replaced it with a Dana Designs Terraplane X in 2000; mainly because the aluminum frame had corrroded from all the road salt in my garage over the prior 20 years.

    That`s about the time period..I paid $77 for the one I bought before my hike in 1977

    I had one (same color) that I got in the 70's and I finaly had to throw it away last year as it was worn out.
