  Yeah Roy I really appreciate the plan you drew up for me!  However next year I'll be trekking across the Alps of Switzerland, France, and Italy for three months.  I am thinking of doing the desert section in 2002 as a training hike for a climb up Mt. McKinley in May of that year.
Thanks for your support.
