California-bound


Ginger & I fly out of Reagan National Airport tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. With the wonders of time zones, we'll get to Fresno at 9 PM, just in time for a late night stop at In-N-Out Burger. We'll head to Lone Pine on Friday morning, and the ride will get underway Saturday afternoon at 3:00.


Currently, we stand at $4,445 raised for this year. That's just about half of our $10,000 goal, and from a short-term perspective, it's only $555 away from getting another $1,000 donation. Many of you have heard this, but I had an anonymous donor offer a $1,000 donation if I could raise $1,000 to match it. We've raised $445 of the needed $1,000. I mention this not to beg for additional funds from those of you who have already graciously donated, but to encourage those "on the bubble". If you have thought about making a donation, but you've procrastinated or are just not convinced, this is a great time to maximize your donation. (To make an on-line donation, click here.)


Regardless of what happens, I'm always overwhelmed by the love and encourage of our friends and family. We'll carry your support with us into Death Valley on Saturday.


Have a great two weeks, and stand by for results and photos in the not-too-distant-future.
