Tom -

Yes, that looks like the article. In the interest of keeping my paraphrasing skills sharp as a tack, I did not include the link. Actually, I'm not sure I know how to do that yet. I will try next time. Thank you for including the link.

I, myself, was thinking the month spent at the drop-off point would get kinda boring. I assume it's mostly an exercise in acclimation. Maybe it's the courage-building phase of the trip. And then, let's see, there's 150 miles in 2 months. That's an average of 2.5 miles a day (using 30 day months). Doesn't sound like much, but maybe they do have other things going on.

I'll have to see if there's a Las Vegas line on these two gents. Will they make it, or won't they? At least the bears are hibernating. That's a plus.
