Thanks, Paul, we'll see you in Cranford. We're very excited about this.
we made it! :) we made good time too. our official start time was 7:44am and finished at 6:30pm. but i have to say my experiences with freewalkers have been much nicer than my experiences with shorewalkers. i took tons of pics. i will load them tomorrow :)
