Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I subscribed to Backpacker for about 10 years starting in the early 90's. As other reviewers have said, I used to look forward to each issue, and got hours of pleasurable reading from each one. The articles had real content, were well-written. I felt like I knew the regular writers. My dad now gets this magazine free for belonging to a trail organization. He gives them to me. I always flip through it in hopes of finding an article worth reading. Usually I find nothing. Just a bunch of small articles and blurbs without heart, and spend no more than 60 seconds on it. Sad. Wish I'd kept my old issues.
