Thank you everyone that took the time to send us stuff on the trail. The letters and food were appreciated and added excitement to our days.

For every mile Mr. DeVoe hikes, he will be donating a penny to the Groton environmental science club, Generation - Z. Kevin will be donating to The Nature Conservancy. If you are interested in helping either cause, please fill out the form below:

just got to the post office 5 mins after they closed! (they closed at 4:45 not 5) darn it! I'll mail your shoes on my lunch break tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Chad!! What a beautiful picture. I love checking your blog and reading about your adventures. I'm sure this will be a memorable birthday!
Take Care,

Happy birthday Chad!! Virginia is beautiful - must be awesome to walk it. Couldn't have a better birthday gift. Keep sending the scenic pictures and look for a package for you, Kevin and Lucy at Pearisburg. Take care and stay safe.
And the trail goes through this beautiful land? It's beautiful and it does look like your header. I'm looking forward to seeing all the projects tonight at ScienceNight...I'll be taking pictures of middle school presentations for the newspaper. Maybe you can see some there.
(So, whose your publisher for your book of beautiful picturs?)
Sweet Pic I wish I was there!!!! Good Luck
Emily H.
I took some picture of Science Night for you!
Blisters, drinking mud puddle water, snakes, crazy weather.... even though I'm dry, safe, and eating good food I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. Soooo jealous. Keep it going man!
