Hi Mick. That sounds like a great adventure. I've no idea how easy or hard it is going to be to backpack in far-western China in 2008. It's a pretty inaccessible part of the country, and their resources are going to be stretched to the limit by the thousands of tourists already booked to go there.
But best of luck, Mick If you do get it together, we might be able to squeeze you on our eclipse day bus from JYG to the centerline, if you want a lift.
