John's Alaska story reminds me of a time in a different life when I was
"asked" to leave after a 20 year relationship.  It was late Fall and I had
just returned from a camping trip with my sons and hadn't yet unpacked the
old '80 Vanagon.   The next few days were spent soul-searching while stealth
camping around various places trying to get my kit together.
Those were horrible days that have lead to a much better life.
Time heals all wounds and vica versa.
IMHO, Dan would be wise to follow the prudent advice posted on this subject.
 Where was this List way back when?
