Congrats. Sounds like fun. Though having recently published a a small 10 page article for my company, it's a lot more work that it appears at first.
I'm sure many of the folks here and elsewhere would be glad to input/review/etc. I'm currently planning a trip to Utah/Arizona the first week in September (Bryce, Zion, Antelope, The Wave, etc.) and am assembling my own "don't forget to bring this" checklist. Something pre-published would be handy.
