Return to Everest 2009 Update: 24 March: Scott Checks in from Kathmandu

Scott Just checked in from Kathmandu using his SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker.

We will each be using one of these devices to chronicle our movement through Nepal to Mt. Everest in the coming weeks. Each time we do, a marker is generated in Google Earth (see link below). This is the automatic email generated by Scott when he checked in (Note: this is the first check in, so his distance travelled, etc. has yet to begin):

SPOTScott Check OK. Follow along
