I will be on STJ for 10 days, so I thought a 1 day excursion would be fun. Any suggestions? Might just have to ...

Read about backpacks and bags being stolen last year. Invested in a pacsafe.Its a wire mesh with a lock that fits around your backpack. You can get them at REI or Amazon. Pretty cool, and you feel safe when you are in the water. Hope this info helps.
