trip prep

figure at some point i will put the list of all materials that have been collected for this trip. needless to say, aerostitch.com, rei and bmw have made out like bandits. can't speak for mike, but i'm sure i've blown my budget. got the spot / gps unit up and running. kinda sorta. not a web guru so we'll see if the embedded url sticks... if it doesn't, then folks will need to click on the link at the top of the page to track our location. looks like their site doesn't update with past location markers so i will check it out again tomorrow. also ordered the sat phone, should arrive a day or two before we head out. either way, things are shaping up...
