Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

It's alright Dave, he's joking, there's no dirt. Put the duster away now .....
Route looks good, tent looks good, even the forecast looks ok.
Judging by the shinyness of Dave's bike we might be lowering the tone of the neighborhood though [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
