Thank You very much for your help. I just briefly checked out the Little River Outfitters website and it is very cool! I will spend quite a bit of time perusing it (such a wealth of information). Looks like a great online catalog too.... I will certainly stop in there when I get down there (with an excursion first into northern Georgia to hike a section of the AT, either Springer or Blood Mountain). I am very excited about this trip. I'd better get started tying now....Best Regards, JimBob
