For the sake of moving this along, I'm going to write the "discussion" about which line to take in a sort of "fade to black" kind of a thing. 

If anyone has any further questions, ask them tonight, or save them for the train. By tomorrow I'm hoping we'll be boarded and on the way to New Reno. 

ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that we know where we're going, start looking ahead at the places we'll visit and come up with some ideas for what we may experience. This is where you guys will have big creative freedoms in shaping the landscape. PM me with questions, ideas, or better yet, post them here so we can all discuss them together.
