I doubt I'd last even a couple of days....it's the Virgo in me.....and I love showers so back-packing wouldn't cut it. Will stick to the ionizer, Nordic Trac and shiraz thankyou.

As for astrology, you're right....we could REALLY get in trouble over on Space. Isn't Mars up RL's Uranus lately??

I took a college course in astrology back in '75 and have hundreds of charts in my files. Tells you everything you need to know about your boss, friend, lover or business partner.
Right now Mars is in opposition to Jupiter...probably a good time to be starting your journey. How many of you are going and is anyone monitoring your trek at a base camp? (Radio communication?)
