I am starting to worry that we won't be there in time. Sure we could hitch out, but it would be nice to get to McKenzie Pass when we plan to. Oh well.....it out of my hands now:)

If I had Yogi's book then I would have seen VVR on the list of "don't mail your bounce box here" places. I was just able to start planning our food strategery this weekend. We are going to do a combination of buying and dropping.

i'm still planning on my 2nd pct stab in 2006, after bailing out early 
on this year (didn't want to battle snow OR flip-flop). i'll probably 
start my journal around february or so. i've already started training, 
and as for my logistics- pretty much gonna stick to what i planned for 
'05 (mostly buy-as-i-go). i'll be starting from campo again, on adzpctko 
weekend. speaking of- i heard they were pushing it back a week in 2006, 
closer to may... is that right?

btw, i hiked w/ another jackalope for a couple days this year - a guy, 
though. last i heard he's still on trail, though i don't know for sure 
where he is right now.

cheers!
