Ward and Matt made Gooch Gap shelter, their second destination point today. He has traveled 16.5 miles to date, exactly as planned, and he will pick up the pace over the next several days.
The weather conditions are poor - snow and ice, and overcast such that the Spot signal will not reach the satellite. Ward was able to send a phone text message to Beth, which was thoughtful. It was cold last night and needs a additional coat for to wear while sleeping - my guess is a fleece vest. He should be able to purchase one in a couple of days. Also, it appears he will be able to find lodging tomorrow night, so my hope is that he does not suffer for long. There are some things parents should not be told. I'm glad he's starting with Matt.
