Less than 2 weeks!

We’re counting down the days and in two weeks we will be on our way, waking up on the other side of Blythe. This week we’ve been finishing up non-RAAM tasks and catching up on some of the RAAM ones –

- I’ve been checking on the rental vans and still need to make motel reservations in Blythe;
- Lisa’s working on listing hotels, bike shops and other businesses we may need along the way;
- Bill is compiling binders of information for each vehicle and going through our inventory;
- Janet is contemplating a weekend in Borrego for some last desert training;
- And Kat is somewhere along the California coast as part of the AIDS/LifeCycle 8 Massage Team.

Next week we get even busier. On Wednesday Bill and I go up to LA to pick up the follow van so that we have time to set up the inside for all of the stuff we need to take with us. On Friday Janet will pick up the secondary follow vehicle. And then on Saturday the crew starts to arrive for a weekend of van setup and organization, first aid training, shopping and any last minute prep.

New news: Greg has joined our team and has offered to setup GPS tracking for Janet across the county. This will allow everyone to follow us more closely than time station to time station – you’ll be able to see where Janet is between stations too. Greg is also going to set us up for posting real-time pictures and videos. Thanks Greg!
