Day 13   24 February 2007


Hey All,

Got another update from the Gretchen and Kelley last night, and they sent in some pics.

Yesterday they stopped at Prospectors RV Resort and ran into the strangest coincidence: the owner of the RV park was also an artilleryman in the same battalion as Chance, 3/11. Today they are in Bullhead City, Arizona, bringing the total mileage to just over 200 miles! Their RV seems to be holding (for now) and everyone seems to be doing good, minus a little foot pain that's been ailing Gretchen. She's says it's alright though and it hasn't got worse with more distance, so she thinks she can push through.

Some of you have inquired about check donations, instead of PayPal. We'll, we've ironed it out.

Make checks payable to: The Chance Phelps Foundation

Mail to:

The Chance Phelps Foundation
c/o Jeff and Gretchen Mack

Miles to Go: 1,347

Hey, you are in our thoughts and prayers! We got an update at the Aux. meting last night and decided to add to the fund as a group and then as indivuals.

Don't forget to wear your sun screen, drink lots of water and don't have too much fun!
