They’re leaving tomorrow for the East Coast.

Then today we had even more practice! What an experience. I started out the morning with a couple of early radio-phone interviews. Then mom and I headed to the Wiouwash trailhead at the intersection of Y and S in Oshkosh for one last practice hike before the REAL THING (it’s sooo close!!). When we arrived, there were folks from The Oshkosh Northwestern, Channel 2, Fox 11… it was a very cool experience. I’m not quite used to all this attention yet, but I’m guessing after a couple more weeks it’ll be coming natural to me.

Ah, the optimism of the time before the hike actually starts.
