Updates!

Hey Everybody!
So a lot has been happening this past week as I gear up to the final week before the hike. First is that Franks Walk has been approved for a kickstarter page (www.kickstarter.com). The planned project through kickstarter is a feature length documentary to be created out of all of the film footage after the hike. We hope to have the kickstarter up within the week.
Second is that the GPS tacker is up and running (albeit not linked to the page just yet). You can check it out for right now by visiting http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0zJcuRoNA25uyizG1nn08zn9lddbid3YM .
Third: The Ghost Of Wrights has a show tonight at 9:00pm at Carrie Nation's bar in Los Gatos to launch our second EP.
Fourth: I will be in the NBC11 studio tomorrow morning to film an interview that will air Saturday morning at around 7:00 am. Hooray for more exposure!
Other things that have happened in the last week: The original departure date came and went, and I turned 25 years old.
Also, Franks Walk items are coming soon. The first item that will be available will be foam "Can Koozies" with the Franks Walk logo on them. These will be given to anyone who donates (or already has donated) to the hike fund. We hope to have T-shirts available as well in the near future.
Until next time;
-Cody

Correction:

Just wanted to let you all know that the location of The Ghost of Wrights show has changed from Orchard Valley Coffee in downtown Campbell to the patio of Borders Books in Los Gatos. The date and ti e are the same though.

Come see the band!

Hey everyone,
The Ghost Of Wrights (that's the band I play mountain dulcimer for) has a show next friday (April 15th) at 8pm at Orchard Valley Coffee Co. in downtown Campbell. It will most likely be my last performance before I depart for the hike. You should all come out and see us. To check out some sample songs check out our website here.  I look forward to meeting a lot of you at the show!

p.s. We are tentatively calling our style "neo-folk rock" So if you like folk/rock and Americana type music (think KPIG) you should come and give us a listen.

Indy

Just took my dog, Indy (short for Indiana "We called the dog Indiana."), down to the Jolley's in Morgan Hill. She will be staying there while I am away. It is her first time away from home without me since she was a pup. I can tell she was really sad and confused when it came time for me to leave her there. Luckily, this time it is only for the weekend so she can start getting used to her new temporary home. There are also a bunch of new dogs for her to make friends with.
When I drove into the drive way at home and she didn't run up to greet the car, it really hit me how much I will miss her while I am away. Just as she will miss me too.
Maybe I can get someone to bring her out to meet me somewhere on the trail.
Pets: another thing that the PCT hiker needs to consider.

p.s. Thanks to the Jolley's for taking care of Indy while I am away. I know they will take good care of her and make her welcome in their family.
