For my own personal safety and the peace of mind of my family, I am carrying a personal locator beacon. This allows me to contact search and rescue should I find myself in an emergency situation along the trail and my life depends on help arriving immediately. One of the bonus features is that I can send out a signal every night that puts a little dot on a map showing where I am. You can view that map here:

I do not have a lot of data points on the map yet as I am still learning how to use my device. I am choosing to send only one data point each day due to cost. I hope this map gives a good visual of my progress. Let me know what you think!
This is soo cool! I'm going to bookmark it.
