3 weeks to go!

Three weeks to go and the planning is coming along very well indeed.  We have tested out our “kit” with two nights in the tent in our barn…might as well stay warm, and a “dress rehearsal” in our “house/shack” on the other side of the property.  We were inside next to a woodstove, but with no windows in Feb, it was an excellent test for our tent and sleeping bags.  Happy to say we love our equipment.  The boys got to try out their “backpacks” as well.  It did not take them too long to get used to them so we are all set.  A few photos below, mainly to see how they look posted.  Thank you to those who have already donated!  We have almost completed the day to day “plan”. We will post that within the week.


This is a test from my iPhone to see if I can actually post from here. :)

HELLO Hello Hello and welcome to our Blog!  As you can imagine, we are VERY excited about our upcoming adventure and can not thank you all enough for supporting these two organizations which are very near and dear to both Vicki and I.  The brave Men and Women they support deserve nothing but the best treatment available so we are honored to be doing this hike for them. 
  
Our goal for this blog is to keep you all up to date with where we are and how we are progressing - we promise to keep our updates short and sweet and not bore you all to death with details of every leaf and tree we come across! We expect to be able to update once every few days or so when we hit the trail towns to restock and shower! 
  
At the moment we are busy getting prepared - sorting out equipment and increasing our fitness and planning our schedule. The donation link to Help for Heroes is up and running. Hopefully Wounded Warriors will be up within a few days too! That is all for now. Feedback on the blog is welcomed as we are new to this!
