Out of range …
It’s Day 3 on our trip, and we’ve come back to “civilization” (make that I-5) after visiting Crater Lake National Park yesterday … Wi-Fi is spotty, but works … except that we’re now out of juice for the laptop! No battery, no (photo blog) post! Stay tuned … we’ll get back up & running later today when we get to Cape Disappointment, WA. You shall not be disappointed! 😉 On the road again …
Boondocking at Walmart
Just woke up after spending the night in the Redding Walmart parking lot. Now we are off for a four hour drive to Crater Lake after a morning snack.

Canada Countdown!

Team Hope For Hooters walks again. Bright & early down the street to the … Read More
A marathon awaits …
Saturday, July 09, 2011 – Day 1 Ok, it’s really only close-to marathon distance today, since the route got changed to where Saturday is a bit shorter, and Sunday makes up for it. All in all, we’ll still be walking a full marathon and a half, 39.3 miles! And when you start counting the detours at the pit stops and for lunch, we’re right back at full distance! After the alarm comes on at some ungodly hour Saturday morning, we#re … Read More
