Split Second Check-in

Scarecrow checks in - he is doing great and having a blast.  He arrived in Pie Town over the weekend and was able to check in with the land line phone at the general store.  The cell signals are non-existent so the woman was gracious enough to let us chat for a few moments on Saturday.  Scarecrow said he will be able to talk for longer and send some pictures on Monday.  We cannot wait to hear all about his latest adventures.  Here is the link if you are tracking his progress.

where is Scarecrow NOW?

Below, I will also post another mail drop address for those of you WHO HAVE ASKED. He will be stopping in at the post office in Chama, New Mexico on or about the 20th of May.

I am mailing him his winter gear, such as his ice ax, chains for his shoes, another pair of shoes, wool socks, his running pants to be used as an extra layer... sounds strange to need all of these things as we approach the warmer weather, but it is when he will begin his experiences with windy, snowy weather.  Crazy, right?  Some of you have already said you have what you want to send... others have asked what could you send.  Safest bet would be a note of encouragement and well wishes, and if you feel crazy enough, a few snicker bars, reese's peanut butter cups,  or peanut M&Ms.  All of these things are a treat for Scarecrow as he moves along the trail.  Again, nothing expected or required, but always appreciated.  Thank you to those of you who have reached out and wanted to be a trail angel for Scarecrow.
