I have to admit - all of you have really good ideas... now to narrow them down. That will be the tough part.
Thank you all for the responses - if I don't answer quick it is because my use of the puter is somewhat limited right now - and I don't have internet connection in my little 4 wheeler yet!

(thinking about how long it will take me to get satellite in my Isuzu - *ponder ponder* )
I am really glad that I am going out in the summer this time instead of winter - had 3 winters out there already... *brr* and the upper tier states are DARN COLD!
DawnChaser - you are right about truckers... but there are a few who aren't totally corrupted - I have found a couple here and there - and I hope there are a few left to talk to when I need to drive on a boring stretch of road (2 or 3 come to mind). It could be worse - I could tell you stories about what I used to start up out there!

Defender for the Light -
Goodness knows there is a lot of Dark out there!! - Where are my matches?!?
Wandering Soul - Finding my life's calling is Bodhisattva
Looking for lost brain - I left it only for a moment....and there it goes... rolling under the table!!
Noticing that the Light has gotten further down a Dark Tunnel than expected... Time to get the Lantern... Knowing sooner or later - I will get to the End of this Tunnel to the Open Air once again...
