And the guy who is starting the trip with me is an author, wants to write a book about it. And probably will, he's had several hiking books published.

He doesn't know anything, really, about backpacking or climbing though. May "bail" at Crater Lake, but if he does publish something I'll let you know.

In the meantime, have a few of those whatevers for me.

This is Flame, I can say it. RL was saying he hadn't had much moderating to do, thought I might publish a few learned treatises on astrology on Space. After all, it is "Space", and some influential folks believe it. I'd bet there is more published about astrology than lasers.

Heh, heh.

Keep 'em honest, Lindy!!!
