Day Two
Esther, as she is in most things, is a fearless and fierce walker - she charges ahead, head down, back straight, arms pumping, and she and Bob blazed a trail so far ahead that at times, we lost sight of them. You definitely have to have stamina to keep up with the super-duo!

Kitting Out an RV
May the frenzy we feel now be but a distant memory once we hit the trail and realize that really, truly, we have everything we need. Plus enough tinfoil to wrap the entire RV three times over 😂

Less than a week away!
Launch is this Friday - we’ll be meeting at the Buddha Eye Temple in the morning and will begin our walk from there (after coffee, tea, snacks, and an orientation around safety and the rules of the road).

much has occurred
Everything about this endeavor has fallen into place in the right time, in the right way, so I imagine that finding the driver will be no different... there is a level of trust in this process - maybe call it faith - that has been neccessary as we move along. So far, that faith has served us well!

May 26th Update
I thought to myself that 8 miles goes quickly when you have such beautiful views to take in from time to time. Eight miles took us four hours, even with breaks for water, snacks, and a climb up into the nook of the most perfect maple tree. That pencils out to approximately 10 hours each day on the walk dedicated to putting one foot in front of the other.

a report from the training walk
This training walk was special for two additional reasons: we were joined by a reporter from the Eugene Weekly (it was great to meet you, Eve!), and we were wearing our Liberty Walks swag!

Training Walk
Today was a great training walk. Sun was shining, a cool breeze kept us feeling refreshed, and proud goose parents were out along the riverbanks with their beautiful fluffy babies.

First Post
… will beauty be a draw for walkers? It certainly is for me! One of the reasons I am excited to have this adventure is the opportunity to explore this beautiful land of ours.
