A recap of the past several days in Idaho

A recap of the past several days here in Idaho...(its easy to lose count)

The weather has been good for walking - a tad chilly in the morning, not too hot in the afternoon, breezy - but just enough.

The roads have been kind, drivers observant with friendly waves.

We stayed 2 nights with a lovely couple, Michael and Audra who treated us and fed us so well and let us feel so at home.

The next night we camped on what turned out to be a frigid and long night 🥶 Thank goodness showers at Valley of Trees Resort where we camped were toasty rooms and hot water 🥰

As has been and continues to encourage us and fill our cups, are the amazing people we have met along the way. When they learn of what we are doing, there is always positive exclamations and well wishes for a safe journey.

When we feel saddened by events of the day, this is what keeps us going...meeting the good, kind, hardworking people of this country. 🇺🇸

Want to be part of this audacious walk? We are always excited to have walkers join us and even if you aren't in a position to do that, can you volunteer to help with the back end "stuff" that is always necessary with this kind of undertaking? It truly takes a community, a village.

We would love you to be part of ours 💪❤️
