Please send a prayer to my cousin

As you may know, my cousin Jake is paddling by kayak around the eastern US - 5000-6000 miles.  He's starting his third day and there's a blizzard predicted for later today and tomorrow.  If you have a moment and are so inclined, send a prayer or some good thoughts out to the area between Spring Green and Prairie du Chien, WI, that they won't get hit as hard as the eastern part of the state is supposed to be hit.

 

Sheesh! If I, a first cousin once removed (I think) is so worried, I can only imagine what my cousin Carolyn - Jake's mom - is going through!

saying a prayer for your cousin...hope that he stays safe & takes shelter from the storm.


might be a silly question but....why not do this in the spring or summer? or is it a guy thing?

I don't think that's a silly question at all. I have wondered the same thing. But I guess he just didn't want to wait till Spring. Maybe the weather will be better for his southern and eastern legs of his journey by leaving now. But it will take 10 months and maybe he'd rather do the trip from WI to the Gulf in December and Jan. than do the Great Lakes in November or December.

Ann, I'll be thinking about him and praying the bad weather blows right around him and not in his exact area.

Yes, he was aware he might hit a snowstorm, but was hoping to get west and south before it hit.

Interesting! I have his blog bookmarked and was just reading the updates. Sounds like a really ~~~cold~~~ trip at this point!!


I pray for his safety and that the adventure continues to be exciting and does not get boring for him.
