Thanks Pete!  You and Mandy are always in our thoughts and prayers.  We miss you.  We begin our trek in the morning.  And what an enormous load of crap we're dragging along, too! 

Thanks, Geoff,!  So far we're pretty good.  Arrived safely despite the monsoon in GA we drove through.  Now off to the store for supplies.  Wine, half and half, sweet rolls, you know, your basic food groups.
