4/17/11 Porter & Pace Check-in

I had several calls and emails from people wondering if the guys were alright and if they were affected by the storms in the south. I received this message.

 Message:This is Porter and  Pace. Everything is going fine. Until the next check-in...We'll keep on hiking!

Porter and Pace hiked a 10 mile day on Saturday, 4/16, and called it an early day because the weather turned to rain and it was getting cool. Porter called at 6:45PM on Saturday and they guys had set up their tents and were settled in for the night.

They plan on being in Erwin, TN on Tuesday to meet Porter's sister, Debbie, and his brother John. On Wednesday, Pace's parents are supposed to meet them there. They are looking forward to the family visiting with them.

Here are a couple of pictures Porter sent.

Trillium - there was a field of these flowers.
