Natalie, Beth & Gale on Day Zero at Safety briefing.

This is Christine at I early on Day 1 - she wrote a message to her mom and I wrote one to Patti, before we started our walk.

Opening Ceremonies - July 28, 2001 - DeAnza College - Cupertino, CA

The walkers set off!

Pascale takes a well-deserved break on the first morning.

Rolando Solis, Patti's widow, during lunch break on Day 1.

Rolando and I share a moment. He carried a photo of Patti against his chest throughout the walk and his hat reads 1-4-3, which she always used when she wanted to tell him she loved him real fast.

We celebrate the first night!

Gale basks in the glow of her first day walking.

Day 2 - Saturday, July 29 - Skyline College - San Bruno, CA - The fog begins to roll in.

Among the sea of tents, a picket fence - civilization!

Kevan - my tentmate - and I on the evening of Day 2.

Natalie and Steph hug, while Kevan, Beth and Gale enjoy.

Natalie and Steph in cousinly embrace - against the cold!

As the fog continues to roll in, walkers gravitate toward the dance "floor".

A most compelling message.

Kai and Jennifer huddle close at the dinner table.....

.....while Rachel freezes!

Christine poses briefly in shadow, before winking out for the night.

Day 3 - 6:15 AM - loading up tents in freezing fog.
