THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

So many wonderful people have offered their advice, thoughts and encouragement through the planning of this trip.  We know the list will only get longer as we move through the expedtion.  Thank you everyone, we are incredibly lucky to have so many great people in our lives.

Schwaib at MEC- The first person we ever talked to about this trip...thanks for all the advice in biking!

Marla Black- For the hand-crafted, Canadian-made, travel-sized backgammon board.  We have no idea how to play the game, but we've got lots of time to learn :)

Ken Bouchard- The super awesome fellow Rossiter rower who has lent us 18 nautical charts that will take us from the cottage all the way to Quebec City!  THANKS KEN!!!!

Mum and Dad Rawley- Endless support, and never saying we were crazy. Really helping by mailing all the goodies we bought on ebay up from Maine.  One day, we'll have money to support local businesses. 

Mom and Dad Greene- SO much encouragement, lending us the Rossiter, brain storming, flares, VHF radios, a place to store our junk while we're gone, taking us to Costco...etc.  Thanks!

Joe Connoly- What a guy! We have you to thank for getting us addicted to Twitter. Also all sorts of incredible ideas.

The Grand River Keepers- Volunteering their time to shuttle our canoe for us in Labrador and lending us maps and a guide book for our canoe trip down the mighty Grand River.

Vena and Horace Goudie- For sending us Horace and Horace's mum's autobiographies of their lives in Labrador, what an inspiration!

Steve and Sandra- Two of our best friends who are driving our bikes and all our gear to Quebec City for the start of our cycling portion of the expedition.  We'd be toast without them!

Ryan Benson- For his canoe paddle and continuing the unofficial explorers book club with Dave, and also for keeping the dream alive.

Jacqueline- Thank you so much for helping us FINALLY find a tent that works for us.  What an adventure it's been just finding a tent! 6 months of research and testing and it all came down to 6 days before we leave for the expedition to find the right one.  Yay Jacqueline, good luck with school!
