One Month to Go

Bytomas

Today, April 14, is one month from the start of my Missouri River journey. Lots of time has been spent on preparations and all is ready. I have received lots of input from members of the Missouri River Paddlers Facebook page which has greatly assisted with getting ready, so thanks to all. My mail drops have been identified as well as river angels and a number of camps. GPS data has been created with hundreds of waypoints identified and marked.

With just a few small additional things to get done the day will soon be here.

On May 14 at 9 a.m. I will start out at Confluence State Park in Three Forks, Montana.

    Bytomas

    Why am I asking for donations? First and foremost I want to thank my primary sponsor in all the adventures I undertake, my wife, Nancy Dawson. She is wonderful and encouraging in all ways and is always there with financial support. This journey down the Missouri River from Three Forks to St. Louis is a major…
