He's doing great, though, through PA. He did an all nighter the other day just for a challenge. I guess there are all these challenges out there that people come up with to do. He says he has to do all of these for himself--to keep himself in the game. He says Firefoot's only challenge is Springer Mtn. (That's the end of the trail in GA.) But thankfully it appears that FF is needing company as much as Trand because he is trying to do these with him. I think they are going to take it a little easier today after 24 hours of hiking yesterday.
He has run out of money. :/ Yep. When he started he had no intention of ever sleeping off the trail or eating off the trail. So yeah. I guess we'll be funding the rest of this adventure (along with grandparents, of course!) That's okay. This is exactly what he needs, and we are willing. Thankful he has this life changing opportunity. And with as much weight as he's lost, I want him to eat well as much as possible. He did say he gained 10 lbs. at his last stop. He was there for about two days all together. Makes me feel a bit better.
We are driving back to Knoxville on Wednesday. We are heading out Sunday afternoon to find him on the trail!! I'm so excited. The kids are beside themselves!!! We will be back in time to start co-op on Thursday. We probably should be doing more school prep, but this is way more important right now. A little geography lesson on the way!!
So for now, he's doing well. Thankful for Firefoot. Thankful that God has blessed Trand with good health. Thankful that he's this much closer to home.
