LAM History Index | Go to Previous Topic | Go to Next Topic The first gourmet backpack was held at the Rio Grande below White Rock, and organized by Jan Iversen in 1978. Jan also organized gourmet backpacks in 1979, 1980, and 1981. A 1982 gourmet backpack in the Jemez River Canyon in 1982, led by Len Margolin and Chris Foster, had several problems with minor accidents caused by drunkenness. The next year Lynn Sherman and Jenni Sprinkle led a return trip to this area, but it was a very calm family affair, a strong contrast to the previous year!

Steve wrote about his misadventures at Elizabeth's 2003 Gourmet Backpack in a LAM trip report (click here to read). This was Steve's first LAM trip. He liked it so much that he lead the 2004 Gourmet Backpack himself.
