A ride has been acquired! I should be leaving late tomorrow or the next day.

I'll be checking my email, as well as here, before I go, and will post (or voice-post) as soon as I am safely there.

Now to prepare my body for the desert-what-sucks-out-all-moisture-forever-and-ever-amen, as well as a drastic change in sea-level. Lots of hydration, lotion, and saline solution!
