Backpacking Believers

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...

  Well Fall is here and the temperatures are much cooler here in Nebraska. We have spent some nights below freezing already and it is only the second week of October. We have found to be true what so many hikers before us have said about the Mid-West and that is, "the people are very friendly". We were helped by our loving family members through the first part of Nebraska and since we have met some very kind people on our walk. We have walked through miles of corn and other crops and harvest is in full swing so watch out for those grain trucks and tractors. Most importantly we have been able to share the Love of God with many many people. We were able join in on bible study after a long day's journey and we have stood in a Pony Express station and learned about the great history of our country. God has been merciful to us. Please continue to join us on our Walk in Love Across America.   Aunt Tina Oetter Uncle Pat Sunde Co...
