You guys do realize, don't you, that Ravery, the OP, hasn't posted since the day he started this thread and he hasn't been on-line for more than a week?
this line got me good--a real good laugh !
i note he was online on the 8th, so he may have garnered a juicy tidbit or two out of all the informative posts.
i could reckon he'll be well armed with info when the ap hike is done though...
