The Appalachian Trail with Uncle Kris

Hi all. Just a quick little note to highlight a fun adventure that my little brother Kris is on as I write. He and his buddy Joel embarked on the Appalachian Trail on Tuesday night. I don't know all of the statistics, but all you really need to know is that they will be hiking all day long every day for the next four and a half months. My goodness. We are all very proud of them for even giving it a go, 'cause it's certainly more than any of the rest of us are doing! Kurt has set up a nifty little way of tracking him from the GPS emails we get from him every couple of days. For those of you who might be interested, the map is over to the right. We're all so excited for him, but we're a little nervous too, so seeing those little dots pop up on the map will all help us sleep easier at night :) I'm sure he'll have some fabulous stories when he gets back! Maybe we'll have to see if he could do a guest spot on the blog...
