Folks, I hoped to send more, but time is running out. I leave for the airport in about 2.5 hours. Enclosed are 3 attachments. 1. an Excel spread sheet which contains everything I know. 2. an output from that spread sheet which shows the schedule 3. an output from the spread sheet which shows the post offices zip code, and approximate arrival date. IF YOU FEEL INCLINED, you can send mail or cookies to the post offices using the spreadsheet or the documents >From time to time, either myself or my wife will be updating you with my progress, and if you wish you can update the spreadsheet with the correct date and the rest of the times will ripple thru.

NOTE: in Trailplace you can go to the archives and the 1998 journals. "ultralight" is an HP person from Colorado. These journals are both long and addictive. So long for now. I will be thinking of each of you as I hike the trail.
