Hello Supercommuter,
Can you email me your address so that Tony and I can send you guys some stuff?
I got a grip load of mail and more than a couple magazinies for you two Alaskamerites.
Sounds like it was fun (but long) trip.

glad to hear that you guys made it there safely. i just heard that gas in AK is upwards of $7/gal! watch out for those thumb-wielding bison.
