Thanks for the great advice folks. Aldo the wonder dog (slightly wagging his tail) and I will be posting from somewhere down South wherever we land (Hiker Hostel seems to be the traditional launch point). This site is the cat's meow. Lot's of laughs. I'll be taking plenty of pics of the folks I run into (the good, the bad ... the saskwatch). See ya when I see ya. Screw it I'm getting me a Ranger cut or at least a high and tight when I get down there.
Regards,
Max and Aldo
