aimless Moderator Registered: 02/05/03 Posts: 3293 Loc: Portland, OR	Welcome! When you do start asking questions, it will help us answer them if we know roughly where in this great wide world you will be doing your hiking. It also helps to know if you've done much (or any) hiking and camping in the past.
