Half way there!

I got a quick call from our girl today so that she could tell me that she has passed the half way point and is passing through Boiling Springs, PA. Apparently it is customary to celebrate this occasion with the half gallon challenge. Never one to pass up a good challenge she downed half a gallon of Cherries Jubilee ice cream last night in about an hour and a half. Unfortunately I also have to report that the Snickers challenge was a dismal failure. I think that she made it just over a day eating around 20 Snickers bars before digging into some real food and promptly handing the rest out as Trail Magic. One final point is that since she is staying so far ahead of schedule I have finally posted a list mail drop locations with an estimated date of arrival. I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible if she varies from her schedule, but always try to get stuff there at least a couple of days before the expected date just in case she goes on a distance rampage some day. This list is in the links section on the right side of the page.

Great to hear your doing well! Our package was sent out yesterday and will arrive 6/17 at the 1st PA drop. Not so sure your gonna enjoy all those snickers bars we included. Sounds like you may be in overload. Keep up the good work. Much love, Erin & Jaime
