Denali schedule

Again, here is where the "OK" and "Custom" (or "Summit") messages will be able to be tracked:

Leora and Jay on Denali (until we get onto the mountain, expect a message with the title "No Messages to Display" and body:  
"No displayable messages found found for feed: 0q8Zx115OM0neH2XVVMDT1uAPgejzDdTF"
to be displayed when you first go to the link).

And here is our preliminary schedule.  I'm sure that everything will change as soon as we show up in Talkeetna, but this is our rough plan, and the SPOT OK messages should help to show where we are compared to the schedule.
