Three things:
1) Read A Walk in the Woods, by Bill Bryson. Funny as hell account of an attempt to hike the Appalachian trail.

Sorry I'm a stickler for animal type stuff, so easy to get correct but often overlooked.
I am the guy that emails companies about their commercials and how they are inaccurate and stupid. People in DC area should be familiar with Mervis Diamonds radio commercials. They boast about getting the Diamonds straight from the jungle diamond mines of Africa, and how they lived their there whole lives. That being said I found it odd that they used the sounds of a Kookaburra (bird native to Australia) in their commercials
thousands of birds species native to Africa, and you picked one of the most recognizable bird sounds in the world which happens to not live in Africa, why?
