Well our walk across America is finished and we are preparing to head back to Alabama. We are glad that we accomplished such a feat, and sad that it is over. As for now we will continue to try and find local places outdoors to spend as much time as possible until we decide what is next. We are trying to adapt back into what is called a normal life here in America, and it comes with struggles. We miss meeting new people every day. We also miss seeing new places every day. We will be back in Alabama by November 15th Lord Willing after a detour through Texas to visit some friends(family). Today we spent some time at Schramm Park in eastern Nebraska. We were out looking for some fall colors and were blessed with a few. The trail had some much needed hills and a really nice suspension bridge. This is at an old fish hatchery and it also has an aquarium. Keep an eye out we will be blogging our entire trip home. Lord Bless Yummy trout Training for American Ninja Warrior Th...

What a time to be in Colorado! We have under 250 mile left, the leaves are changing and the temperatures are nearing the freezing mark. Colorado is still at the top of our list of the greatest states and it never seems to amaze us. The heart pounding uphills and knee pounding down hills push you beyond what you once believed your limits to be. We have learned though experience now the extreme effects of high altitude and true back country living. We have seen some of the most beautiful country in the entire world and have loved every minute of it. Here are a few pictures of what we are seeing and where we are. Hope you enjoy. More to come.

Greetings to all, We are in Utah and it is amazing. We have met many amazing people and we have seen things we could have only imagined before. Utah's state motto is Life Elevated and we have to agree. We will just let the pictures speak for us. We still have approx. 275 mile left in Utah and we can't wait to see what Utah has to show us.

Well we are now in Utah and continuing westward sort of. We will actually be heading south for a while and then west and then north and so on. We have finished Nevada and are somewhat different people now. Walking across Nevada will change anyone to some point. The land is so diverse yet monotonous. You walk through valleys that you can see the end, but you do not know if you will ever get there. It may take a couple of days to get to the next mountain range. You can walk 50+ miles and find an old roadhouse that has a café, bar, camping, gambling and a couple of rooms for rent, or you might not find anything for 80+ miles, not even water. Most of the people you meet are fellow travelers with various methods of transportation. Some are cyclists, motorcycle riders, rvers, and car drivers. Some are crossing the country, crossing Nevada and some are just travelling around this country with no certain path. We all had one thing is common though when we met. We were happy to meet other trave...

We have now crossed the Sierra Nevada and found the desert. The Sierras are absolutely amazing! They tested us a little, but it was worth it. The beauty cannot be completely captured in pictures, because you can't smell and feel the air that surrounds you. We ascended and descended through meadows, across streams and over peaks. We have seen turkey, deer and even a bear among many other small animals. We walked in snow and along the banks of Lake Tahoe. There is no way we could put everything into one post so here are some pictures of our Sierra adventure.
