Adventure, Back Pain and A Continent Beagle

Let's start with the newly continent beagle. Starlet is, ahem, holding her own. You were all right about using Proin (1/4 tab @8 hrs) despite these scary warnings. I've also taken her off for her chronic allergy med Temaril-P and on the whole, she's quite carefree and I'm doing a whole lot less laundry. Thank you.

On to back pain. Mine. The mind is willing, the mouth talks a good game, but the body is showing signs of stress. Of course going back to the gym after months off combined with going back to yoga (yes, after months off) and hiking on vertical inclines of snow have all a little something to do with my inability to sit, bend or drive. But never mind! I have an agenda: to be as strong as possible for my next adventure.

Here's a hint. A very difficult hint. But you're all so damn smart I figure that even without googling, someone will be able to i.d. a region which includes a huge national park with 13 ecosystems, among them:

1. Mangrove swamps
2. Lagoon
3. A herbaceous marsh
4. A palm swamp dominated by Raphia taedigera
5. Varied swamp forests with well-buttressed canopy trees
6. Gallery forest with possibly largest tree in (blank)America
7. Plateau forest with large tree density
8. Mountain or uplands forest with abundant palms
9. Cloud forest with Quercus spp.(e.g. Q.insignis)

So, where am I going?
