Excellent photography Colorado Cool Breeze.
Very nice country also.
So, I bit the bullet and ordered the Avenir Excursion Small Panniers (1464 cu.in.)
They will do the job I believe, and help keep costs down.
Delivery early June.
Today I bought a nifty and inexpensive set of bar ends to provide alternate hand position for the long rides.
That's it for equipment I needed to purchase.  Have everything else.
I guess I can use flikr or picasa for uploading my pics.
You look like you are quite experienced at camping (and photography).  I have enjoyed and learned from several of your posts.
Take care

Thanks for the reply Colorado Cool Breeze:
I will indeed take photos along the trail and at my camp.
Then I have to figure out how to post them and in which thread, but I will figure it out.
Going car camping this Fri, Sat and Sun at Ivy Lea Campground, looking out on the St. Lawrence River - very nice.
In June I should be ready for the 'bikepacking' trip.  Gear is ready; bike is ready; all except for the panniers.
What a major decision choosing the panniers.
I think I will get the Axiom Cartier DLX35 Panniers  http://axiomgear.com/products/gear/bags/journey-series/cartier-dlx/
Not sure though!!!  Your Jandd panniers look good.
Panniers like those, along with my handlebar bag and a smaller backpack (Dakine Poacher) and I'm good to go.
My tent (MEC Quail Plus = 4pounds) and my sleeping bag (Rockwater Paclite mummy - Down 600 = 2pounds) will be strapped to top of rack.
It will be my very first backpacking/camping trip.  Great adventure.
Have a great day.

Hey Colorado Cool Breeze:
If you are still monitoring this thread I would appreciate knowing what light down jacket and what down hat you use.  They look great for bikepacking purposes.
I am 72yrs of age and riding the abandoned railway line trails here in southern Ontario, Canada.
Am planning a bike camping trip soon, approx distance 20km one way to a provincial park; on my Giant Iguana that I am setting up for the trip.  Need only a rear rack and panniers and I am good to go - have everything else.
Will try to post my avatar and some pics.  Just joined this site 5min ago.
Take care
