How to Contribute to the Home of the Innocents

The best way to contribute toward the Home of the Innocent's Capitol fund and sponsor Greybeard's long distance trek is to visit http://www.homeoftheinnocents.org/ web site. Enter the site via the "enter" icon. When you scroll down you will see Carl's blog link. However, don't click there. On the sidebar of the 1st page of the Home's web site you will see a "How You Can Help" link. Arrow over to "Make a Gift Today". That will take you directly to the secure form to contribute via Visa or MasterCard. Your contribution will go directly to the Home's Capitol fund. Or, if you'd rather mail in your pledge, you can download the form and mail it directly to the Home.

In training

Just a quick update on my PCT training. I've been hiking 8 to 9 miles 5 days a week wearing a 20 lb vest and carrying a 20 lb day pack. It has been cold and snowy the last few days but all the best for getting the old bones prepared for what lies ahead. I leave for the Smokys March 4th for my seasonal Appalachian Trail ridgerunner job. Passing on information to hikers and assisting them when needed is my main function and I do some trail maintenance such as cleaning out water bars and clearing blowdowns from the trail. This year my work for the Smoky Mountain Park Service and The Appalachian Trail Conservancy will double as my final physical preparation for the PCT starting April 28. Keep hiking.
