Greg,

You gave me way too much credit here.

Let me set the record straight ...

I WAS helped by several members of the Sierra Club, but most of those carried 
their water load all the way to the water cache by the 3rd gate. I definitely 
did NOT "do the rest." 

Damn, there goes my Superman reputation (but, maybe I'll get my friends 
back).

The 8-person "TEAM" deserves the credit.

Thanks, guys and gals,
Charlie
