The boys traveled 17.25 miles on March 4, 2009. They passed the town of Nakusp, BC. If you search for Nakusp, BC on youtube, there are several videos. It appear to be a substantial town.
I figure things must be all right or they would have pulled in and called for help.
I have been using Google Earth to compute the mileage.

Total miles from the Launch to the Campsite on Day 4 is 72.87.
(Miles computed by the ruler function on Google Earth based on GPS coordinates reported by the SPOT)
As information it takes approximately 20 minutes from the time a SPOT signal is sent to the time it is shown on the web site. (I happened to see one come in)
Today (day 5) they will be traveling on Arrow Lake.
