"Backpacking is amazing. Change my mind."

This artifact is Jessica "Dixie" Mill's Instagram post in Yellowstone National Park from her thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail. She stands upon a ridge line, overlooking a valley, to share the significance backpacking holds in her personal life. The dark, muted colors show the early twilight in Wyoming before the night takes over. Alongside the pictures are Mills's caption about her appreciation for backpacking, hashtags, and followers' comments on her post. Mills uses her Instagram, @homemadewanderlust, as a microblog that shares her time in the outdoors, and this post in particular is part of her experience hiking the Continental Divide Trail.

The author stands upon a ridge line in Yellowstone National Park, wearing an expedition pack and holding two trekking poles. She is a silhouetted figure since the sky is overcast and sun is descending. The woman gazes into a valley beneath her and at the mountains on the other side. The sun is in the top-left corner of the picture and shines through the heavy clouds, casting light down and to the left.
