MEET THE EXPEDITION TEAM ON ROUTE
If you want to catch the Expedition team as they move along the Relief Party trail, use the live tracking map to find a place to meet them. Because of long days (20-30 miles/day) and tight schedules, they won’t be able to visit long but always love to meet fellow history buffs along the way. It lifts their spirits!
