I'll be getting up at 4:30 am Saturday to start walking 100 kilometers at 8:30am. When we finish is the million dollar question but we're hoping to finish within 24 to 28 hours. We've got all of our equipment including a survival bag (which hopefully we don't need!) and a compass (which I don't know how to use). We'll be trying to rely on the detailed maps and a GPS instead of the compass. I'll try to post status updates and pictures on Facebook from my cell phone...and I might call you if we need help reading a compass :)
The link on the left doesn't reflect it but we've nearly reached our fund-raising goal. Thanks to those of you who supported us. You can also support me by calling or texting during the hike (especially in the middle of the night) to remind me there is something out there besides the 100 kilometers of trail that stretch ahead of me.
So far the weather on Saturday looks good but please pray that it doesn't rain and that it's not too hot...and pray that we can finish!!

Holy moley! I didn't realize you'd have to find your way with a compass. I thought there'd be like a marked trail or something. Yikes, have fun with that. I had a toy compass around 3rd grade, so I can probably help you if you need it :)
I will definitely plan to call you and tell you to get your butt moving... and that I love you.
P.S. I had to delete this comment the first time because I found a typo!
I'll try to post with no typos so I won't have to remove mine like Melissa!
I didn't realize you had to navigate yourself either. I thought there was a trail also. Wow -- all kinds of adventures you'll be having!!
I'll be thinking of you/praying for you.
How exciting that your fundraising has gone well!
