hundred+bucks

Each participant is requested to pitch in $100. Roughly half of this will go to funding the shuttle from Davenport Gap to Springer Mountain as well as establishing a northern terminus base camp for ground control at Big Creek Campground, starting as early as May 25.

The rest will go to the kitty; the first hiker to Davenport Gap gets the kitty! So in summary, this is where the $$$ goes:
 * A shuttle from Davenport Gap to Springer Mountain (leave your car at the finish).
 * Emergency contact relay support
 * Live updates to this wikispace for friends and family
 * A campsite space at the end with some aid: food, glorious food!
 * A chance at the kitty
