It is now less than 48 hours before I leave. \u00a0I think I have enough of the trip laid out for me to feel comfortable with what lays ahead of me. \u00a0The new sleeping bag, which is rated 0-18F arrived today. \u00a0Wow, it is massive, so my estimation from the web site were way off. \u00a0I think I will need a quick trip to the camping supplies store tomorrow and look at alternatives.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, most of my time has been spent at work, just trying to get all my ducks lined up.<\/p>\n
More important for me is that donations are trickling in, but more is needed. \u00a0As always, I reiterate that all funding goes to IJM and the Polaris Project. I pay for all trip expenses out of personal funds. \u00a0As of today, only about 14% targeted contributions are in. \u00a0If you can then, I am urging you click on these links and take the first step to become part of the change.<\/p>\n
