Looks like it started pinging at 7.41am.

Really excited to watch this, I didn't even know this was a 'thing' until this thread.

I presume he planned this well before the Homie sensation, so I suppose his "team" has limited capabilities to fill us in. Is there a chance for contact with his "team" between Massive and Elbert? Otherwise we learn little more till at best the Highway 82 crossing, no?

Go Eric!

no spot updates for awhile...seems like he got up massive really fast. I was looking at the topo on google maps and i can't even fathom the enormity of the task at hand for this.

Best of luck!

Someone more familiar with Nolan's needs to give us target splits for a 60 hour time.
