First a quick introduction…my name is Bryon Thornburgh and I am a friend of Scott’s who is helping him keep his blog updated throughout his ride. In addition to this blog I am updating a Facebook page dedicated to Scott’s epic adventure (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scott-DeMoss-Tour-d-Afrique-Page/168024533242137).
I talked to Scott yesterday morning (my time) and they were weighing in their bags (there is a strict 100 lbs. weight limit for their bags). Scott sounded excited and nervous about what was ahead of him. He said he had been very busy in Cario with last minute preparations and some sight seeing.
Scott has with him a SPOT GPS Messenger (http://www.findmespot.com/en/) which will allow him to check-in each day following that day’s leg. I received Scott’s first check-in at 6:30am MT today with a brief message saying ‘I made it to the next camp. Hope to talk to you soon!’. I’m assuming the ‘hope to talk to you soon’ message was for Torrey and not me Day 1 was an 83 mile leg from Cairo out into the desert. Here is a link to Scott’s check-in:
