Leaving tomorrow! And finally I have a rough schedule for you. The dates will certainly change and I will try to update them here. I believe at most stops I will have either cell service or wifi, so I will have some ability to read/respond to email, text, and Facebook communication.
We also welcome physical correspondence! Post cards, letters, or parcels. Please let me know if you send something so I can tell the post office how many items I’m expecting. A text or email early enough that I can get it at the stop before would be ideal. Use USPS, not UPS or FedEx. It can take longer for mail to reach some of these little towns so something sent 1 week ahead of our ETA may not reach us (more for some classes of mail). Post offices only hold mail for 30 days so something sent 5 weeks ahead of our ETA could be sent back. I think 2 to 4 weeks ahead of our ETA is the safe zone.
