Bob is indeed in Banff, as demonstrated by this map image that is really cool. Bob's path into town is shown in blue , and his next "waypoints" show in red. The Delorme device is working as expected! Woo hoo!
Ipad update: (see prior posts for iPad history) - The iPad is still in Iceland, but I've received an e-mail written in Icelandic and a link to a partially-filled-out shipment form. I will shortly see if Google Translate translates from Icelandic into English and then I'll simply fill out the form (if that's what I'm supposed to do) and translate back to Icelandic. No problem. I'm sure the iPad will be here in time to give it to Kelli and Kim, who will be meeting Bob in Montana.
Bear update: Someone was bitten by a bear just outside of Banff about 3 days ago.
Bob-potential-riding-buddy updates: Bob has met a few people who are now on the trail, but no one with the exact same departure day. Bob is riding around Banff and I'll post a photo or two tomorrow.
Planned departure date: Wednesday July 30th (Banff, Alberta, Canada)
Next milestone dates (if the super-tentative-we-don't-know-how-this-will-turn-out schedule holds):
