Being new to the list, I am betting that this is a topic that has come up a 
lot, but I would love to revisit it!  (and in the meantime- would some one 
mind answering me off-list and telling me how to access the archives! *G*).  
    Have any of you gotten the lyme vaccine?  I have gotten two out of three 
of the shots with the last coming next year before I thru.  I know that it is 
controversial, but Lyme is  a serious hike-ending possibilities, so I wanted 
to be pro-active about it.  Anyone had any experience with it?  Thanks!  Anna
