5/25/10 Finally able to walk a little again, after having an episode with low blood pressure, also at about the same time threw my hip out. Walked a total of about four miles in the morning towards Yerington plan to continue walking more in about a week when I'm more fully recovered. Found 1 cent today.

Wilson Canyon

walked a short walk today only 6 miles. I have to say Ron is doing quite well on the walks and he has told me it has helped his sleeping and he feels better.. I'm glad to hear that. We passed through a stark lonely valley, quite beautiful place called Wilson Canyon. It had signs of an old railroad that ran against the cliff wall and of course there was a river which added to the early morning walk here: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/17454485 It was a grand views by foot. Found no money today.

Smith Valley on Hwy 208 along the river

Ron and I walked a total of 10 miles from Smith Valley town center to a rest stop on hwy 208 along the river. Stopped and got a juice at nice country store and sat out front for a while and rested then continued on to here: http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/carson_city_field/blm_programs/recreation/wilson_canyon.html. While on our way about 3/4 the way to the end a nice lady in a blue sedan stopped on the highway and asked us where we were headed. She said she had seen us the day before walking and wondered where we were going. I told her across the united states!.. she seemed quite excited and was going to try to find the blog... It was nice that she stopped to say hello and check to see if she could assist us. I found one penny today.

Hwy 208, Wellington, NA

Ron and myself walked today 9 miles starting on hwy 208 heading east passing through a small town called Wellington. We Had a nice breakfast at Rosie's cafe in town. It had authentic Mexican food that we enjoyed. We continued on another couple of miles to the town of Smith Valley another small community along the Walker river. The town was very quite mostly just ranchers and farmers, all seemed friendly. We found a total of 7 cents today.

Santa Clause

4/30/10 Today was an interesting walk I went the farthest I have done by walking 11 miles. I hope that means I'm getting in better shape. I had the pleasure of meeting up with a man whom I think is the real Santa Clause. He called himself Raymond but I think it was just to not make me suspicious. hehe. Anyway he sure looked like Santa if he wasn't. We walked as mentioned before 11 mile continuing south on 395. We also found a total of 40 cents
