The Course: Start, stop and the Inbetweens.

Marchers,
We will confirm with the Park Ranger today, but we have our course roughed out, with rest points selected. The total distance with be just short of 80 miles, but by walking to one of the bathroom near a camp site we can pick up the extra mileage, and still claim the 80 miles.

The stepping off point is Double lake Camping area, the first Rest Point is the intersection of Park Roads 207 and PR 202 near the Big Woods Hunter's Camp area, the second Rest Point is Huntsville State Park ,Parking Lot #7, the last Rest Point is Kelly's Pond, near the Stubblefield Camping area of Lake Conroe, while the terminus is Richard, Texas.

The thinking is, there will be a starting point and an ending point, instead of a loop. Parents can drop off at Doublefield, and pick up at Richard, Texas. Should a participant want to only march for two days, he can step off on Saturday morning, and be picked up on Sunday afternoon in Huntsville State Park. We will get maps and location on this site, so that all areas can be found more easily then with a state road map.

Later this week, organizers will head up North to the trail and make observations of the sites, along with pictures of the area. These too will be included on this site so that we can share the journey with those who cannot go or other interested parties.

Let's head 'em up, and move 'em out. We have the course.
