Backpacking Believers: Hey We Are Over Halfway......

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 across this state alone and have met all kinds of people along our walk. We have witnessed corn and soybean harvest up close and personal and waved hello to nearly every one we have seen. We have walked miles by Union Pacific Railroad and now each train that passes knows to wave because we have waved at them, what a joy to see them now waving and blowing their horns to us. We encourage you to come out and explore what Nebraska has to offer you. Thank you for joining us as we strive to Walk in Love across America and to carry the Love of Jesus to ALL we meet along our journey.

We Love you ALL,
