Where do you work whuppinstick, and can you get me a job there? This sounds like a great way to spend the summer! Good luck!

It doesn't pay very well, I promise you that!

Leaving for the trailhead right now, will try to stop by with an update in the next couple weeks.  Planning to take a zero (zero mileage day) at the second town stop, Silver City, so hopefully I'll get enough internet time to come on here.

Yes, I know of Balls and Sunshine.  They are a couple weeks ahead of me but I'm hoping to catch up to them in northern CO or beyond!  They are famous!

Good luck on catching them, they hike fast and lite.

Can't wait for your pictures, I will be following your blog updates wathching to see if you even get close to them. They have support from another thru hiker, and his wife will join in when school is out.
