The Big Walk

The big walk is this weekend. It is supposed to be cold and rainy so the plan right now is to finish the Saturday part of the walk, stay at the tent-city for dinner and some evening entertainment and then have Sandy come pick Karen and I up and take us home for the night.

For those who want to come cheer us on here is the information that we have been given:
