We are now in Auburn, CA at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. We have been walking through the Delta of California and it was beautiful. There was not a hill to be found except for the levies we were walking on. We hiked through this flat wetland paradise all the way to Sacramento. Then we picked up a bike trail that took us back and forth across the American River and back into the hills and finally the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. This is very exciting to us as we have never been here and hiking the unknown is always an adventure in itself. We have already seen many species of wildlife that is unfamiliar to us and it looks like we will see much more in the near future. We might get to see a mountain lion or even some bears. We will definitely be challenged like never before physically and mentally as we enter wilderness areas where people will be more scarce. One thing that has surprised us is that we continue to see people even in the wilderness areas, so we hope this will continue with summer starting soon. Remember that is why we chose this trail over all the others, because of the people we get to meet and share the Love of God with them. We would like to encourage all of you to also remember that we are to show love to everyone, no exceptions. So go show love and kindness to someone you wouldn't normally do that to. Lord Bless
