Where "Five Pair" got her gear: (1) Travel Country (on 436 in Altamonte Springs, Florida). Fantastic, extremely knowledgeable staff that were extraordinarily helpful in getting "Five Pair" ready for her journey. (2) Running Zone (Melbourne, Florida). Great store owned by Denise and Don Piercy. (3) Walkabout Outfitter (Roanoke, Virginia). Couldn't have been more helpful and great selection of gear. (4) REI (online). Great selection and pricing for commodities.
