Introducing the Idiot Finder!

I have a new toy to play with guys! I figured that it would be very cool if we could actively plot our progress on an accurate map for all to see. So I went into the woods, built an alter, and did did sacrifices and other appropriately gruesome acts to the God Google, and lo and behold I now have just the thing. All I need to do is add a little map on a given post to show where we are, and we can track the progress on a larger map for all to see (at least that is the theory … this is kind of the test run)! Isn’t that awesome! Not only can everyone know when Idiots are approaching their area with ample notice to flee, they can also do such crazy things as join us for portions of the hike, or maybe meet us in a town to say hi and offer a proper meal … or more likely hose us down. Besides it will make the book so much more interesting with cool maps to look at!

A few other tidbits that have built my excitement up:

  • I spoke to a savvy entrepreneur type who gave me some great ideas of how to “market” this project to various charities and other organizations so that we both may benefit. Not only might it expand the whole “doing this for the good of the world” aspect of the hike, but maybe some will pity us enough to help out in other ways. My friend also has suggested the crazy idea of plugging this as a Reality Show. Who knows where THAT idea may end up! Save your autograph request for later please!
  • Maytag has jumped ahead again in the whole training thang, and has proof! He sent me this great pic of him doing a full pack training run (in proper Idiot style of course). Go Maytag!!

Since both of us are in our “training camps” right now, this map does nothing more than give our adoring fans an idea where to properly stalk us. But it will also tell us if the God Google did well by me, and is not laughing at pulling one over on an Idiot. We won’t know until this post is actually published methinks.
