As you can tell by now, updates have been infrequent. The follow and leapfrog crew are clearly in the middle of nowhere. As they get closer to North Bay, we hope to regain contact with them. That will happen tomorrow at some point. Stay tuned.
Paul & Beth Smith are the dynamic duo chauffeuring our MCF guests in the 15 passenger van! They are from Morden, Manitoba.
The Smiths have 2 married kids. They have five grandchildren ages 5 and under and are so thankful they all live nearby so they can spend time with them.
We are so pleased to have Paul & Beth on board. They create a wonderful atmosphere in the van and make sure that the MCF guests get to where they need to be on time.
Thank you for joining GrandpasCan, Paul & Beth.
Ruth & Walter have been in the support van since Arvid left Jellicoe this morning:) we did a shift change 70

Today outside of a Subway we met three ladies (Kat Huybregts, Dominique LaRouche and Courtney Vaughan) who are biking from Vancouver to Halifax just like Arvid! His record is safe though as they have
been on the road for 2 months!

We apologize for the possible lack of GPS and blog activity in the coming days. Unfortunately Northern Ontario has very poor cell phone service and that is
how we update everything from the road. We will do our best to keep everyone updated as much as possible.
Blessings, – Support Crew
