We left out from Chelsea this morning around 8:00 after a pancake breakfast at Ekklesia (yes, they have pancakes). We made good time and the weather was great. We made it to the End of the Parkway (Mile 469) at the entrance to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and traveled backwards to Mile 409 at Mt. Pisgah. Camping on the Parkway will likely be problematic since it is so early in the season. Tonight, we've had to come back to Waynesville, NC to find an open campground. The bookstore we're in warming up is closing in ten minutes, so today's post will be short unless we can find another source of wi-fi. 
The road conditions on the Parkway are good and tomorrow should be less hectic than today. We traveled a total of 425 miles; tomorrow should be half that. That being said, updates will probably occur midday during through Thursday and will cover the previous night's events and everything up to lunch on the day of the post. This seems like the best option logistically. Donations will be updated on Friday. Until then, it's all about the journey. Tomorrow should net some really good pictures of the Parkway. Stay tuned...
I'm glad everything is going well for you guys so far. Take your time and enjoy your surroundings. Not may of us get to truly enjoy each moment and experience throughout our day. Take advantage of this time! I hope you are starting to decompress and focus on the task ahead.
