On our way!!!

7/3/2014
Well, we are on our way to the border... it is still dark out and we have loaded up the Yukon with 3 packs in the overhead Thule bin.  We are actually off!!! yikes!

We hope to spend the night around mile 1738, past Pilot Rock, near a spring that is listed on our map. We will need to purify our water and fill up.   Our first resupply station is at Fish Lake Resort on 7/6, so not too bad:)

Before I leave, I just want to thank my wonderful husband, Jeff and my two incredible daughters Lauren and Hailey for giving me the freedom to do this hike, and to leave them for a month. I am so blessed and fortunate to have such a supportive and loving family. Thank you for being amazingggg!

Hope that the next report is not about blisters!!!!!  and hope that we can actually get enough service to update our blog!!!
