5.  Running out of money
4.  Missing Melanie's wedding.  (Brad's sister believed to becoming engaged any day)
3.  Crashing
2.  Keeping up with Keith
1.  Bears, wolves, moose, mountain lions, stray dogs, semi trucks


Things we are Stoked for:
10. Raging quads
9.  Having accents
8.  Canadian Rockies (the downhill parts)
7.  Not paying high gas prices
6.  Using all our new gear
5.  Being able to say "when I was riding across Canada..."

    Haha Keith.. too bad you're on the "nervous about" list! Quite familiar sounding to my own thoughts these lists are!!!! I would just add "knees giving out" to the anxious about, and getting to know the Burtons to the EXCITED about!!!!!!!!!
