Sacramento, Howe Ave - Cordova

3/5/10 Walked from about a half mile before the Howe ave overcrossing of the American river bike trail to the Cordova park a total of about 9 miles. I had to go back about a half mile and pick up exactly where I had left off the hike from the time before because of parking issues. I walked alone. It was a nice day out, its been good weather hiking. Did not see much as far as animals, there were a lot of people about riding and jogging. I found one cent, lol.

Through Sacramento

Took off from old sac on the American river bike trail was very nice weather a light rain fell for a while then cleared. the scenery was great ...people were out and about walking running and riding bikes. I ended up at the R E I on expo parkway bought a couple things then had a friend Tim give me a ride back to my car walked about 5.5 miles first time I did not find any money.

Reaching Old SAC

I walked alone about 6 miles today through a nasty part of town along West Capital ave until I reached old Sac. Several nasty people came up to me either acting stupid or asking strange questions . once I reached old sac all was good enjoyed a lunch with a friend Ron then went home. found 1 cent.

Along HWY 80

Walked with Alex and Amal again we walked a total of 6 miles over the Yolo causeway. we ended up at the Denny's Restaurant on the Sacramento side of the causeway finally making it to Sacramento about the half way point for crossing California. It is so loud on the causeway! the traffic sucked . was cool weather and saw lots of ducks and geese. found 5 cents walking.

Approaching hwy 80

2/18/10

Walked with my eldest daughter today for about 3 miles ended up at a fruit stand near Mace road and Highway 80 my son Amal spotted "Harry Potter "he said in the fruit stand. I myself missed him... bummer . Jennifer my daughter used her g p s to locate a "geo cash." in front of a church on mace blvd it was fun. it like a giant sized Easter egg hunt. Jennifer found a folding dollar the first dollar bill found so far., that was the only money found.

DAVIS

2/14/10 Very nice walk today we had made plans to walk a little with my daughter Jennifer my boy Amal Jennifer's husband Paul and their kids Jason and Luke . It was a short walk because of the kids. we walked a little over 2 miles, short but was nice to have the company. Jennifer plays a kind of game of using g p s coordinates to locate little hidden packages . We found two of them and she signed her name on a paper and returned the hidden prize. It looked like a lot of fun I think I'll play it too. We found 5 cents.

Trip to Davis

2/13/10 We walked 6 miles today made it to Davis. It was a nice walk lots of fog and somewhat cold . The scenery was minimal not much to enjoy. Just ranches and nut tree orchards mostly. I started to get stomach cramps so we kept the walk down to only 6 miles.
