These Knees Were Made For Walking

Today we start blogging

And the blog is to chronicle my journey crossing America on foot. One step at a time. It’s a big plan but one I have had since I was about 10 years old. Every once in a while I would get this wild idea that I wanted to walk across the country and I would just plan it all out. How many miles? How long would it take? How many miles a day? What food would we need? Where would we sleep? How much would it cost? Did we want to take “the southern route”? Or the “Northern route”? Of coarse, back then I did not have the internet or even computers to figure it out. Just maps and my dad. I would often try to get someone to agree to go with me. My brother, Sam. My best friend’s daughter, Amber. But the that is as far as it went. The planning remained just that, a plan in my head. And now I am retired and I have decided to put the plan to paper and actually walk across America.
