Backpacking Believers: November 2014

Walking In The Snow

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

To Everything There Is A Sesson

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.

Eastern Colorado

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. Here are some pictures of our walk in the west.
