are a jackrabbit. For most folks, it is not a race to see who gets to Canada
first, third, or one hundred-thirty-third. It is a personal journey of
discovery; the goal is to get there............eventually, and survive the trip.

<DIV><BR></DIV>thank you both for your advice. what about the first day. i
hear the "20 mile" thing to get you away from the border. if i can't do 20 the
first day because of heat and conditioning where would be a good place to bed
down. i'm thinking 15 mile days for the first 100 and see how it
goes, but it seems to me everything/everyone is thinking 20's to start.
the trail looks easy but hot. it'd be cool if folks had temps for the day on
their journals. thanks again<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
