ADT JOURNAL: CHAPTER 40

1998 Trip Plan & Schedule

The weather here in Virginia has turned from winter to almost summer and it has really ignited the cabin fever and we are anxious to hit the trail. We have been able to hike or bike several days per week and we are feeling pretty good. We are also much less apprehensive than last year and are ready to proceed with confidence that we can handle what the trail brings us.

The schedule below gives you an idea of where we will be for the next two months. The dates are realistic but must still be considered tentative based upon weather conditions, illness, bike troubles, etc. We will receive mail at towns marked as mail drops. If you want to send mail, address it to Bill & Laurie Foot, c/o General Delivery, city, state, zip. In lower left corner, write "Hold for cross country bike riders". The post office will hold mail for 30 days addressed like this. Allow several days in transit so any mail arrives at the post office before we do.

For family members and anyone who may need to contact us in an emergency, we will be in contact with Reese Lukei (rlukei@aol.com) at 1-800-851-3441 every couple of days.
