There were a lot of people who went well beyond the call of Sabmag duty and friendship for me/us on this trip.

Thanks to Todd and Pam (and Katie) for going overboard and putting up with me. I'm not normally that much of a curmudgeon, honestly. Well, not always....

Thanks to Greg Terpin, for adding his input and help to the maintenance at Todd's. And for taking the brunt of the Chicago maggot's jibes...I have a feeling they would've turned on me had you not been their favorite already.

Thanks to those who wished me well and offered support over the course of the trip. There were a couple times it really came in handy.

Thanks to James for travelling all the way to Moab to hang out with me for a few hours. Sorry it could've have been longer.

Thanks to Janine, for FUNDING this whole adventure! And also for coming to Chicago to keep me company on the final leg home.

And finally, thanks most ESPECIALLY to the esteemed Mr. Jim Hiler, who provided support on a variety of levels, ranging from culinary to monetary and everything in between.

Special No Thanks

To the people who live in eastern Colorado and Nebraska....GET OUT THERE AND PLANT SOME FUCKING TREES, YA MORONS!
