From all he said, it looks like he's been drinking this for a while now.

Drinking plain water gets old after a while. I drink the powdered gatorade while I stop for lunch breaks ans dinner. I keep two 20 ounce gatorade bottles with me and mix the 16 ounce single servings in the bottles. Other than that I usually drink water from my camel back.

Keep the spirits up, Rick! Stop somewhere and have a couple of shots of what my Dad calls "Oh Be Joyful Juice"! LOL!
Hang in there Rick!
Everything is cool so far. I will hit the actual/real half way point tomorrow. Thinking about taking the half gallon challenge. This is when you reach the half way point you have to eat a half gallon of ice cream in less than one hour.
Congrats on the half way point! Hope you breeze through the rest.

Cool! Our members PJPreb met up with Rick and took him to dinner!
What a coincidence that Rick updated his journal and we happened to read it a couple of days prior to our arrival in Gettysburg. After exchanging a few text messages, we pulled up behind him at "The Wheatfield" stop on the Self Guided Auto tour of the battlefield. No real planning - just meant to be.
We had a great time peppering Rick and Hopper with questions about their journey. It was "trail magic" for us to get to spend a couple of hours with them.
Very very cool and a high point of our vacation :):cool:
I don't know if I agree with you on this. It was trail magic for me to run into you and have you take us to dinner. Either way I had a great time sitting down with dinner you you all and chatting it up.
I passed the halfway point today but could not complete the half gallon challenge.
