MORNING OF DAY 2
Thats awesome haha esp on Day 1 if it gets any deeper you can have my Yukon Charlies snowshoes and my LaSportivia mountain boots LMAO. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the snow. Be safe bro. We are following your hike on the map with excitement and enjoy your updates. The donate Button doesn't seem to be working on the support page though. Hopefully soon. Kevin and Kristen
ReplyDeleteHey man thanks for reading my blog! It's cool to know people are actually following it. I really appreciate you trying to donate, please don't give up! That button seems to only work like half the time, its paypals fault and I can't seem to get it to be consistent. I've noticed if you refresh the browser a couple times it seems to work.
DeleteYeah bro we been following your posts and GPS SPOT locations and route. Wasn't sure what applications you have or can check on the trail-your twitter, your website, facebook or path. I tried to post weather updates on that big storm that was going to hit I fired them out but it didn't get to you I guess. Weather is so important. The conditions can change so fast- as I've learned doing search and rescue for the county as a Deputy. That PCTA website isn't that good with them. So I could try to get them to you-I use a number of sites to put together a synopsis. If any significant weather pattern or atmospheric condition is approaching or is closing in on ya or anything- since i got unlimited power and there may be spots where your internet might suck. All the eyeballs on weather is good anyway-be it Hot or freezing, wind, snow, snowpack, dewpoint, thunderstorms, humidity or wind. I will keep an eye on it for ya. KB
