This past week I walked a moderate 26 miles which put me at 186 miles into journey so far. With 26 miles I have done my first state border crossing taking me to Nevada. I am now in Gardnerville NV though Gardnerville is not a large place it is considerably bigger than my last two places having a population of just over 5,500. There have been movies made here "The Wizard, Chicken Every Sunday, Wild is the Wind, The Motel Life, and Charley Varrick".
Here are some pictures to see the really quite lovely picturesque views I have to continue my journey through.
At this point I have 2,731 miles left of my trip.

Hello everyone,
Sorry about missing the last two weeks. Between holidays and having a cold on both of them my walking has not really been up to par. Still at this point I have gone a total of 159.7 miles and have now gotten to Kirkwood CA. Kirkwood is a place that can have serious population booms when it snows and otherwise about nothing at all. The last census report says 158 people. Kirkwood is having it's first good ski season in a long time as CA has been in a serious drought.
Here is a nice cool picture of Kirkwood for you all to enjoy.

Next week when I talk to you I should be in NV.

First big milestone this week. I walked 29 miles this week (my best week to date). With 29 miles this week I have officially walked 100.39 miles. I am now in Sutter Creek CA a very small town with a population of about 2,000. Sutter Creek named after a John Sutter in 1848 after he had discovered Gold in Coloma CA which started the gold rush. Here is a nice image of this quaint small town.

I currently have 2,817 miles left of my journey.

Kind of a low walking week as I am still getting my body use to that. I went just over 22 miles for the week and there for am now 71.31 miles into my journey and now have 2845.69 left. Since I am still just in Stockton (1 mile from Lodi CA) I thought I would post a nice picture I was able to find.
Good weekend all.

12/6/15 Journey update

This week I went for fewer steps but harder ones in that I did a lot of hill climbing. In doing so I walked over all fewer miles and am now in Stockton CA.
Stockton is a interesting place in that it is where they filmed parts of two of the Indiana Jones movies there and where the show Big Valley was suppose to be set. In the year 2004 Stockton won the All American city award and filed for bankruptcy.
Stockton is well on it's way to making a comeback and so far seems to be a lovely place to walk through.
At this point I have walked 48.17 miles and have 2,868 miles to go.
Looking forward to seeing you on my journey.

I will be posting my journey progress on Sunday's as it is my day off to rest and charge my Fitbit. Week one did not get as much mileage as I was hoping for but with the holiday I'm not feeling too bad with the holiday and the extra day of taking care of things needed not usually gotten to on my days at work. So week one I walked 24.07 miles which got me to Livermore CA.

Livermore is one of the many suburban areas of San Francisco, has a large farming community and every June hosts the Livermore Rodeo called "World's Fattest Rodeo". There is also a large blue collar aspect of Livermore with the "Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory" and the "Livermore Municipal Airport".

While Livermore is nice I am looking forward to getting farther along in my journey. I currently have 2,892.93 miles left of my trip and look forward to keeping everyone up to date.

Hugs and Happiness to all
