Hello Everyone,
We are off! Shane and Kevin will be leaving from the Mexican Border at Campo in the wee hours of Friday morning. Trying to get through the heat and the "nastiness" of the first 21 miles.
We want to THANK everyone that has been so incredibly supportive in all of our planning for Kevin's big Walk. It warms our hearts and souls to know that we have such amazing friends and community that surround us The kindness and enthusiasm from so many of you is quite astonishing. Thanks to our friends that we walk with every morning at the park - their farewell surprise breakfast was so touching. From our friends that are following Kevin's journey...just because, hope we can keep you excited. It's hard to just name a few, but a big thanks goes out to PAUL and RIK (for getting it all going LIGHT!) to our immediate family who just can't believe any of this,especially our daughter, ERIN, who continues to believe that "Dad is Batshit CRAZY! to SHANE for walking with his dad for the first 100+ miles, to all of our great friends that have volunteered to resupply (DANA, JOE & MARY, GREG, RICH & KATHLEEN, NANCY, JEANETTE, SUSIE, MARTIN & Z, JACKIE & MARTIN, and SHAUNA (who's flying to the BEST spot on the trail via a float plane! - Stehekin, WA) and all the others that are tagging along and have volunteered to be my driving buddies! THANKS to all of you. Without help from you all and the wonderful Trail Angels along the way, this walk could not be accomplished.
A big, huge Thanks goes out to JEREMY! He really wanted to be involved and he surely found his niche. Straight from Washington D.C, he will be keeping us posted on Kevin's every move. Below is the URL link that you can use to follow Kevin's journey. JEREMY will keep it updated periodically so you can see how he's doing and where he is in the midst of 2,650 miles. It's a cool map and I had fun playing with the zooms. The legend is self-explanatory with the resupply spots added. so cool.
Thanks to all of you that have called and wished Kevin well. This is really meaningful that you care. DANA and HILLY...don't worry about me!
All of this has given us a renewed outlook on friendship and human kindness. With the most recent disaster at the Boston Marathon, we sometimes doubt human nature has much to offer?
