Since Glen has lost his internet connection temporarily, I will be adding a few updates. Glen is now zzzooming into Palm Springs according to the SPOT messenger. It looks like he has some very fast splits coming out of the mountains. The design of his cart allows him to use gravity to his advantage on the downhills. By "zzzooming" he is not actually running, but instead transferring the energy he used to push his 135 pound cart up the mountains to now coast back to lower elevations.
He had the cart over 30mph on a downhill yesterday morning!After Palm Springs, Glen will make his way up through Twenty Nine palms and across the Mojave desert on his way to Arizona. The forecast calls for rain which should hopefully keep Glen cool through the low lying desert areas. Let's just hope he can keep all of his electronics dry!
