We keep running into them out west - Utah, Wyoming, Arizona.  Ciindy Ross & family did most of 
the CDT with llamas.  And then we ran into her llamas in the Winds is '99 - she'd loaned them to 
the Bobsey Twins (AT trail name). 
 
After we did the AT in '92 my brother sent me a magazine clipping - a friend of his had started a 
"luxury llama pack service" to take people into the "wilderness" in Utah.  It included wine, gourmet 
food and soft beds. Not exactly backpacking.  
 
Walk softly - and watch where you step,
Jim
