Breaking free from a technology absent adventure, we will be utilizing a new wilderness device called SPOT. This stands for Satellite Personal Tracker, the O is what you say after you learn what the other letters stand for.
Well anyway, we have this set up, thanks entirely to Sean Morley (which is why it says expedition kayaker http://www.expeditionkayak.com/), Sean just finished a world-record setting circumnavigation of Vancouver Island last Fall and used this device to allow family and friends to keep track of where he was. This little gadget only has 4 buttons; one to turn it on, one to say ok, one to say help, and the last in case of emergency, 911.
To keep track of our progress, click on the link to the right that says "Where are we?".

We, Garrett's parents, sent him and Lexi off late this morning. It was a cloudy, cool (not cold)start. We got a spot check from him tonight which looks like they did well. Garrett was # 119 to sign on as a thru hiker since the first of this year. It will probably be a few days before he has an opportunity to post here again.
