I would actually prefer that people writing multiple installment trip reports start a new thread with each installment - it would save me a great deal of time trying to figure out where I left off reading and prevent me from having to re-read other people's comments over and over. Just put a part # in the title.

Please keep writing jojop, you're doing a great job and since I'm considering a solo trip in the near future, I am most interested in how yours goes/went.
