Wrapped up in the Warmth of Friendship...

Scarecrow's journey would not be complete without a jacket to keep him warm, while up in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  After much research, Teddy chose a lightweight down jacket that weighs a little over 7 ounces and will keep him toasty warm even in single digit temperatures.  This item was an integral piece of his safety as well as comfort.  We want to thank our amazing, generous supportive friends, Darren & Angela Kropp, and their sons, DJ and Dawson for this wonderful gift.

We met the Kropps when DJ and Dakota were in first grade together.  Dakota was invited over to DJ's birthday, we were invited to stay and hangout by the fire pit afterwards, and we have been friends ever since.  We are so lucky to have the support and love from friends like you guys.  You were a huge support for both of us while Scarecrow hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, and now, have shared our excitement and support as Teddy embarks on this next adventure.

Your generosity in purchasing this jacket, as well as the invites for dinner and drinks, and family gatherings are so appreciated and we are so grateful to have you and your family in our lives.  I want
to thank you in advance for the support and friendship I will undoubtedly seek while Scarecrow is away - we are blessed to have you as part of our family.

Thank you for everything.

Until next time,
The Thruhiker's Wife
