I want to express my sincere thanks to all of you who've helped me out directly with advice/info, or indirectly via the many great discussions I've read here. Back a few years ago when I stumbled upon this site I was just a new uninitiated guy from Florida with some big ideas, I'd like to think that now (in no small part thanks to your help/inspiration) I am now a fairly seasoned backcountry enthusiast. I started with a weekender and I've since cut my pack weight by almost half and have now accomplished a 6-day 35 mile solo journey, an 8-day 55 mile cross-country Silver Divide trek, and of course finally made it to Tehipite Valley!
I'll still be around, and hopefully later this year I'll have some pics to share from the wild and woolly northlands. But thanks to all of you, you are great!
