NOTE – If you volunteer to drive the RV, but the time you have available doesn’t fill the entire time a driver is needed, that’s fine. Just propose what you can do. We’ll work it out. 

Please keep in mind that as the walk progresses, the route and timing of stops and events may adjust somewhat for a host of possible reasons. These include mechanical issues with our support RV, weather (tornados and blizzards), plus physical and health issues that affect walkers and/or supporting team-members.

FYI – When there isn’t a driver, Rick must do everything himself. That means drive the RV and tow car to the end of where he plans to end the day’s walk. Unhook the tow car and drive it back to the start point for that section of the walk. Park the tow-car, then walk the route forward to end at the RV. Get in, then drive the RV back to the beginning, attach the tow car, then drive past the current point he just finished, far enough forward to set up for the next section of the walk. Repeat. Although he can, and will, do this when there is no driver, it’s very inefficient and time (and gas) consuming.
