OMG!
Your Mom isn't the Only One who's gonna be "freaked out about it"!!

All of Pet Talk is going to be a Basket Case till you're all back safe & sound!

Things to Take:

* Cell phone with a charged battery

* A bell or Whistle around your necks - use every so often to warn the Big Critters
that you're in the neighborhood - they'll take the hint and go away ...
You and the Pups do NOT want to "surprise" any of the local wildlife!
(Get a cheap whistle at WalMart - in the boating accessories area)

* Post a HOME PHONE NUMBER on the dashboard of the car - with instructions
to call if anyone has questions. DON'T post who you are or where you're going -
just say "Hike Plan filed with Rangers".

* Be sure to file a Hike Plan with the Rangers -
Find out where and how to file your Plan - but DO IT!!
Don't even THINK about going that far without leaving detailed plans
with the Park Rangers ...
and remeber to check OUT with them when you return - so they KNOW you're OK.

Have PHUNN - but please, BE CAREFUL!!
