Murphy's Law has struck. The person we had scheduled for the house/pet sitter was a no-show this morning. Working on a Plan B. Hope to leave out Monday and try to catch up to the group on the trail somewhere in VA. I realize cell / internet service will be sketchy, but hopefully you guys can post updates on current location and plans for the next camp site.

Hi Folks...here's the pre-departure pic. Arrived just south of Parkersburg, WV. I'll be at the rally point in the morning by 0800.
Quick question: do we have pre-selected GMRS channels and are we using PL/privacy codes? I might need to do a quick update to my radio if we are using PL codes. See you soon.

Fair winds and God's speed. I hope someone will provide progress reports for those of us that cannot make the trip (this time).

Here's another interesting attraction that is just off the CO route by a couple miles:

See the inspiring castle built entirely by one man. Built stone by stone, this three-story castle, includes towers, grand ballroom, fire-breathing dragon, and bridges featuring unforgettable views.

Great day on the trail yesterday, crossed one low water bridge, ran across several wash outs from a big storm last night. Made it to Sutton WV, great primitive site for the entire group!

We hope to bug out early Monday and catch you guys. I've been following Jehad's gps ( thankyou for posting that) to hopefully figure out where to catch you. I'm planning on McDowell, VA for the rally point depending on where you guys stay the night. Also, what GMRS channel are you guys using?

I hope this was a GPS glitch and @Darunner wasn't really up running around all night:

You guys are making good time. I think my new rally point is the community of Burnsville at the intersection of 609 and 614.
