Rex (Captain Lew) and Mark (Captain Bill)
by day an engineer and architect respectively, are the self appointed
captains. Possessing none of the conveniences of the original
expedition (water craft, sextant, rifles, blue beads), the captains
have made do with mapping software, touring bicycles, water bottles,
and raw guts.
We have decided that the
only way to traverse the entire 4,000 mile Trail (short of quitting
our jobs or calling in sick for a long time) is through a series
of short (3-5 day) "Trips". The logistics are manageable
within 300 miles of our Kansas City home base, but will become
much more complex beyond that.
We hope you will enjoy traveling
with us. We would like to hear from you, and if you're so inclined,
join us for the ride.
