[Hide Comment] FYI: Somewhere in the close vicinity of this route I contacted a serious plant induced allergic reaction along the lines of poison oak. I didn't see any oak and never have anywhere in Josh. Maybe sumac? Or something exotic. Anyway watch out. Verne got a bit of it too. My case is nasty, feet, legs, one side and arm. Serious drugs required. Apr 2, 2004
