The boys are making great progress, be sure to check in on them at http://www.breathemag.ca/track/ It's incredible to watch them move along as their Spot device sends signals back every 10-20 minutes. There have been occasional periods where we don't receive signals for a hour at a time, Mother Nature is in charge as usual. You can change the zoom levels on the map and change from terrain or satellite views. The have crossed the highway and are beginning to climb the ski hill at Fairmont Springs.
Here is what they are up against today:
And what does the support crew doing while the boys are climbing ski hills, traversing beautiful mountain tops and taking in unspoiled, rarely seen rugged vistas? We are currently about 15th in line at the Pump and Dump station. No explanation needed, it is exactly what
the name implies.

Good job guys, did Transrockies last year, it feels daunting now, like "can we really do this for seven days?", but you will start to get into a groove. It only gets better with each day, not worse, day 4 was a good one, the proverbial hump day, and from there you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ride smart and have fun, don't forget to occasionally look around at the beautiful terrain you are surrounded by!
