Gearing Up
December 17, 2009
As you can imagine 
anyone traveling across country, or at least the western region of the United States covering 7 states, over 5,000 miles and thousands of people, we had a long journey ahead of us!
After having packed up our goods and having put them in storage, letting go of most of our material possessions, and holding back the tears as we bid our awesome, little Boston Terrier, Luna, farewell we picked up our Subaru and started working, hitting three schools in the first week throughout the Salt Lake area. Kyle and I felt confident we were prepared for the journey ahead having already presented to120 audience 
members from ages 11-18, geared up from our trusty Keen, Gregory and Timberland sponsors, and best wishes from family and friends, our challenges were behind us, only the open road and adventure on the horizon!
Reading this you may be all the wiser and can foresee our near future…Dun, dun, dun…
The day before we hit the road our computer crashed… the computer that held all of our newly updated programs for our presentation. After staying up all night trying to troubleshoot, Kyle found a specialty store that would reboot it first thing in the morning. Without a second to spare, we hit the road in the early morning.
