Marchers,
It is time to prepare for your long walk this weekend; try it with the pack about twenty pounds(20 lbs). About a two hour walk would be a good distance to shoot for. Drink water before the hike, drink a bit on the hike, and drink more when you are finished.
Jack Marshall and I should be headed to the Sam Houston National Forrest for a look-see at the course this Monday. Tiffany Williams will be our contact there with the Park Ranger's office.
Though we have organized a course through the use of a map, and a book by Karen Somer concerning the Lone Star Hiking Trail, this will be the look on the ground at our purposed endurance march.
Jason Dyches of the Lion's Club in Huntsville has agreed to give us 50 cases of water to make the march. The offer hit us at the right time, for we have lost use of the Army's water tank truck, and we would not want the lads to be thirsty. Kroger's in Brazos Center in Richmond has kindly offered us 10 cases of water also. Hopefully, with these offers of water, we have the issue of water taken care of.
Please take a moment to send in your registration and wavier forms to that we have an accounting of the number of people going. The sooner the better as spots will be limited to a first come basis.
Keep those boots walking; if you have not got a pair of boots yet, get them! You need to break them in.
