I'm tickled pink by the fact that you posted this here.... I discovered crazyguyonabike just a week ago and have been enjoying following other people's travels (and had in fact been reading some of your entries on Yellowstone).

And I just checked on a post regarding route plans and realized that you replied to my question about Lolo Pass! The Internet does make for a small world.

Thank you so much for your help on both forums!

Fortunately, both of my parents are quite gung-ho and green with envy (although still reasonably concerned). it's the faculty on the grant committee who worry me the most. I figure I'll bring up previous biking/camping/biking+camping experience and hope that I don't come off as insane.

Would it be all right with you if I referenced you and your journals in my gant application? I would love to present them with accounts of someone who has biked solo on multiple occasions.
