Way cool thread, thanks for starting Susanne. Nothing to add really other than make sure you are taking stuff you'll be able to eat for 7 days in a row which it sound like you should have no problem doing.

Mostly just wanted to hand out kedos for allot of good info and references. I had never heard of Dr. McDougall but it seems like some one worth a read.

Good luck on your trip! Sound like its gonna be a blast, definatly on of the most unique trips I have heard about. I would love to here about it after words.
Happy trails
Matt
