New Route
There it is. This is just a Google Map suggestion. I may start in Boone and follow the Appalachian trail as far North as I can.
Changing my Route.
I'm changing where I'm headed. It's my pilgrimage, I can do that. Instead of heading to Colorado, I'm going to walk myself to Pennsic. For those of you who don't know (who am I kidding, no one reads this) Pennsic is the biggest event of the year for most SCAdians. Don't know what a SCAdian is...look here: www.sca.org.
The distance is more manageable, the audience is by far closer to my demographic, and when I'm done I'll be at Pennsic baby. Oh yeah!
I still haven't heard anything out of Rachel's Challenge. Of course that doesn't mean much. They have much better things to do than worry about one crackpot wannabe hiker is doing with his Summer. I guess I was just hoping that they would see how what I want to lined up with Rachel's vision. I'm not sour, they are doing great things in her name without my help, I should find someone else who isn't as well known. For those of you who don't know about Rachel's Challenge (again why do I bother, no one is reading this) check out the website here: www.rachelschallenge.org.
But anyway back to Pennsic. I'm walking there, and along the way I am going to help as many people as possible. Knight Errant style. So if you are part of the SCA community, start talking me up to your friends (i.e. "Have you heard of that wack job that's walking to Pennsic, doing good deeds along the road? How period is that?)! Make it impossible for me to back out of this commitment. I hope to see you there at the finish line when I arrive.

Change in Plans
So it's been just about a month and I haven't heard anything out of Rachel's Challenge. They sent me a "we're relaying your message to the right people" form letter after I sent the e-mail but other than that, nada. They could still be passing around my e-mail thinking "what is this fool getting on about?"...but I doubt it.
I'm starting to think that Rachel has enough people telling her story and carrying on her work and that I would just be getting in their way. So I'm starting to research some other people that I could invoke. People who lived their lives for good, kindness, and virtue. I am open to suggestions.
