Whelp, this is it...Jeff and I are driving down to Baltimore to meet the rest of the guys and hang out for the evening, then we're on a flight to El Paso tomorrow morning.
I'll likely be spamming the blog here with random Geo-loc tagged pictures over the next couple of days, assuming that I've got enough signal in NM to support that. I do still plan to also post pictures with Geo-loc tags from the hike itself, mostly so my home based fan club can follow along on the fun. The iPhone is all set up, and I just tested functionality again...it works, at least from my library =)
I figured I'd take a minute or two to explain how the Geo-loc thing works and how you can use it if you're interested. When a post is made with a Geo-loc picture embedded, you'll see a link down at the bottom of the picture that shows the coordinates. Click on that link, and it launches Googlemaps with a pin dropped on the location. That's it, simple as that.
On Sunday during the March, you can compare that Googlemap with the course map of the hike to see where I'm at. That course map can be found here:

From the racemap web page, you can download a copy in .pdf format, which is a bit easier to manipulate (zoom in and whatnot).
We'll be out there all day Sunday, so check in occasionally to see how it's going!
