"I will probably never get to go by this particular spot again for the
rest of my life.  I will, therefore, observe all I can, and commit all I
can to memory, about this spot and this unique experience.  I will
cherish the discomfort, fatigue, depression and monotony as well as the
views, elation, and opportunities I have for harmony with myself and the
environment.  Keeping on will teach me something that I can not
anticipate at the moment, but which will be worthwhile, nonetheless, as
I look back on it from the future."

Well put!  I am assuming that that got you over many mountains!
       In addition to the above sentiment, my thought is, "if I quit now, I 
have to do all of this again inthe future.  The planning, the saving, the 
training, the convincing of family.......it just isn't worth it to quit! :)  
It is with these thoughts that I hope to go all of the way!  Anna (Mud Butt)
