The later night end time doesn't really matter to me. <BR/>What sort of timeframe do you try to follow for the other events in your time breakdown? (Like late-morning breakfast? and Supper picnic?) The largest constraint for me is my odd sleep schedule, which requires more strict sleep times.

That said, I'd be happy to let you set the pace. <BR/><BR/>If the total time is getting to you, I suggest you may wish to meet me at the Esso on 11th, though I'd rather have your company for the whole ordeal. That would start you nearer to 7am. If we somehow turned out to be super faster than I expect, you could always drop me at my door and continue the 2-3hr bit from my house to 11th by your lonesome to get the feeling of completion.captainorangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533409447527050625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402604.post-50568860141484295532007-06-21T18:11:00.000-06:002007-06-21T18:11:00.000-06:00What is the estimated time to complete?

Hey, you could make the walk that much more of an event and walk to Ellensburg...of course, then your support "people" may desert you. Oh well - I'm more fun anyway. I will keep you entertained with stories about Monkey's and consciousness.Greta Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247496087707560653noreply@blogger.com
