For the journey ahead, Donna and I will not be bringing a pup named Spot, no; rather a safety rescue beacon that goes by the same name. This compact and lightweight satellite tracking beacon allows us to send GPS coordinates and text messages to a list of designated contacts to let them know we're safe, but also gives us the option of signalling for help via local Search and Rescue crews should a situation become unmanageable for us. "Spot // Ready for Adventure"As an added bonus, our service allows us to set up a tracking feature which will allow you, our excellent readers, to follow our progress on the trail. The Spot beacon lays down GPS coordinates on a live map for each hour we have it activated to show our location and will keep a record for up to seven days of travel. I won't say that watching this will be as exhilarating as any back alley cat fight you may experience in life, but it is a way to keep in touch while we're out of touch. Follow our bread crumb trail here...

Colorado TrailOn July 16th, 2016 - we began our self-supported journey to through-bike the Colorado Trail from Durango to Denver in two weeks. We completed the trail on Saturday, July 31th with a total time of 15 days, 5 hours, and 10 minutes. This was the best two weeks of our lives! |
