Tuesday Evening Update from Death Valley:
In a note from Deborah: "I last saw Bill near the Darwin turnoff, about 30 miles before Lone Pine and he looked great. He was making steady progress, eating, drinking, in very good spirits and heading for Lone Pine. That's a long day, and his goal tomorrow is Whitney Portal with the mountain now targeted for Thursday."
Deborah took some good photos today and uploaded them before she crashed for the night. She is taking the 2 am - 2 pm shift tomorrow so that Nancy can rest up for the climb up the mountain.

From Vicki and Bob:
ReplyDeleteIt was great to join you, Bill, for a mile or so today. We cannot tell you how great it is to see you so happy. And we are so proud of you to have come so far. To the team: we want to thank you all for helping Bill achieve his long held and often jeopardized goal. We are very happy to have met Rich and Nancy (and to have helped Nancy rid Highway 190 of litter). We wish that we could have met you all. Vicki's mother says Bill is courageous; we agree.
Nice toes! Hope they don't hurt too much.
