Here are the towns where we plan on picking up mail drops (packages we made for ourselves filled with food and other resupply items), and our estimated times of arrival. We will try to update our estimated arrival times as we go.
We have had friends and family express an interest in sending us goodies and words of encouragement along the way. If you send us something, it will mean a great deal to us. I have made a few notes below our itinerary on how best to do this.
