    Nicely written and because you do a great job I don't have to. Hopefully NylonD 1.6 can withstand the abuse I inflict on it. DIYing is like starting all over again. Anytime you need a trail buddy let me know.

    Thanks guys! It was a great trip and I would definitely go back. Some of those campsites make it hard to want to pack up and move on!

    Thanks! I'm thinking about moving the menu piece to be part of the daily sections. Now that I'm putting more thought into my food planning and watching what others do, I thought I would give more detail on what I'm doing.
