Steve, You are right about the costs but it was my husband who said,"Go ahead,do at least 6 applications." It gives him an excuse to fly fish and because of this I didn't have to sheepishly tell him how much it cost me, but neither did I really expect to win all 6. Ya know, I am delighted,scared and looking forward to the challenge. Also I am going to use all of your suggestions regarding the training and acclimating. After months of anticipation, I hope to meet a few of you on the trail or hopefully at the summit! Joni
