    Happy New Year everyone! We are sure many are wondering where we are and what we are doing. Well since the snow stopped us in Denver we have been spending some time in Nebraska. We are wintering at Camp Comeca near Cozad, NE. Our intentions are to stay here until the weather allows us to continue our Walk in Love Across America. We have been able to still meet new people and show the love of Jesus to them. This is of course our main mission in life right now. We will be preparing for our next part of the journey until we are able to continue. If anyone would like to contact us we can be emailed at backpackingbelievers @gmail.com   We would love to hear from everyone and this is a slow time for us. Well happy hiking to everyone and Happy New Year from Backpacking Believers.

We have enjoyed hiking in the snow. The scenery is always beautiful and it is even light at night. Of course the hills are a little more difficult to ascend and descend but it is still worth it. Just put on more clothes and stay dry. The snow was falling pretty hard Frozen beard Frozen Platte River Frozen Falls

Good morning to all who have been following our walk. We have walked approximately 2850 trail miles from the Atlantic Ocean in Delaware to Denver, CO. As many hikers/walkers before us have found the Rocky Mountains pose a serious threat to all who are not properly prepared. So we have had to make the decision to winter over somewhere due to lack of proper gear and lack of finances. We will continue this walk in a few months Lord willing. We will give details later on where we will resume our Walk in Love Across America.  Until then we will be walking other walks. We will also continue to raise support, so this journey can continue and many more lives can be touched by the love we share. Thank you to all who have made this journey possible to here.

We are now in Colorado and the weather is getting colder, in fact it is supposed to be 15 degrees here in a few days. We should also be in Denver, CO in a few days and come to the American Discovery Trail junction. We are going to attempt walking through the winter if we can. We have met many more kind people along our way. People in general want to do good for the most part, but we have also met some that do have that desire. The eastern part of Colorado is mostly flat prairie with all kinds of wildlife. We can see the Front Range of the mountains now and it is beautiful. It is also a little intimidating with the ice and snow covered peaks. We are still trying to get some winter supplies for extreme cold, but we are going to try with or without the better gear. We want to say thank you to all of the kind people who have made donations, sent mail drops, prayed for us and have helped us in just about every kind of way, without you this would have been a much more difficult undertaking. ...

Hello Everyone, It has been some time since we have posted. We have finally passed the halfway point of our journey across America. It has been such a blessing to walk across Nebraska. The first  part of Nebraska was full of our loving family who supported us with slack packing. We were blessed with spending a lot of time with our dear Grandmother. What a blessing. Nebraska has had the nicest people willing to help you achieve your mission. You may have this thinking that this state is flat and uneventful but it is in fact just the opposite. Nebraska, is beautiful. We felt as though we were in a different country. This state changes from river vallies, wetlands, plateaus, sand hills, canyons, prairies, rocky desert areas, to tumble weeds and cactus. You can see antelope, prairie dog towns, all kinds of water fowl, prairie rattlers, elk, big horn sheep, mountain goats and mountain lions and buffalo and much more...all in one amazing state. We have walked around 524+ miles acros...
