Greetings, and thanks everyone for the replys to my second cry for help.
Sorry for sounding so whiny the second time, howevery after rereading my first post and looking at the replys to my second post, I get it.
I made it sound like I had done ALL my homework, however I complety missed doing a search on this site in the trip reports. DOH...DOH...DOH!!!
Thats is what I get for sounding like mister experienced, so I understand the lack of response the first time. Thanks for humoring me and for so much helpful info on the second try.

When I read your trip report Snow Dog, I realized that I had read this report in the past. It was great!!! And helpful. Lots of good info and last night as I reread it, the thoughts and reflections during and after the trip were good for me to read just before going into our trip. Thanks much for taking the time to write such a good report to share with others.

Everyone else...Thanks for pitching in as well.
This is a great site with a lot of ???wonderful??? people that participate.
I appreciate being able to share common experiences with such a good group of people.
Well,,,4 days to blast off ( or mud slog )
I will let everyone know how it went IF or WHEN we get back.
