We made the Saginaw, Michigan newspaper..... Wow

Jouney in a Nutshell
We are taking 3 new technologies on this years trip to add safety and allow people to track our progress. The 1st  technology is an Iridium Satellite Phone, that works off the new Motorola low earth orbit satellite system put up just last fall, it allows you to make phone calls from anywhere on the globe. This will come in real handy, when treed by a moose or stuck in a blizzard. The 2nd technology is a Lowrance Globalmap 100 Global Positioning System GPS, which will show us exactly on a digital map where we are. This will allow us to keep from getting lost and to let the rescuers know exactly where we are, if treed by a moose or stuck in a blizzard. The 3rd technology is a Kodak Digital Camera DC210 plus that we will use to take pictures and upload onto the web page each night.

Due to mother nature's confusion on when spring starts "rains in lower Michigan and southern Ontario", the start of the Trip has been moved to St. Ignace, MI. going east to Blind River, Ont. We will be updating our map and adding pictures this evening when We get to our starting starting point in St. Ignace, MI at the Super 8 Motel

Update: the Super 8 Motel in St. Ignace, Michigan  reniged on their promise to let us leave our trucks in their parking lot. so...... we moved to the Howard Johnson's... Thanks Mary for all your help in finding space for us....
