So you only backpack 3 weeks out of the year? Sorry, I couldn't resist that one <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I am technically a native of MN myself (from Northfield area), but I have been living down South (SC, NC, TN and VA) for over half my life. No disrespect, but I would much rather live down here. The midwest is a great place to hang out in during the summer, but the other 9 months out of the year are too dang cold. I did a stint with my job a few years back that had me living up in MI for 6 months and WI for 2 1/2 years, and I couldn't wait to get back down here.

At any rate, welcome.
