Welcome to our Adventure!!!

Recently I suffered a heart attack and felt I needed to do something to improve my health. So I decided to walk across the US!. Who knows how far I'll get . I hope that I don't give up before the walk is complete. I have a job http://www.adventureamerica.com/ and I write books http://www.doorwaytozahr.com/, so I'm not able to do the walk on a continues basses. But I restart exactly where I leave off each time. With Alex taking care of logistics and drop off and pick up at the end of the walk each day. Come join us! We would welcome other walkers.
Have a good one!

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.

To Davis



2/12/10 We walked a total of 5 miles today heading towards Davis on rd 31. Alex got hassled by the sheriffs here. He was stopped twice on the walk. He had dropped me at winters went 5 miles down the road then started walking towards me. During that time he was made to put his hands on the sheriffs car and was padded down and asked a bunch of questions. He said the sheriffs made fun of what we were doing. Then before he could reach me they did it again. I asked if he was angry about it, he said no. All's well that ends well. We found 1dollor 81cents.

Putah Creek and Winters


2/6/10 We walked a total of 9.5 miles today along the Puta creek all the way until we reached the town of Winters. the walk along the river was beautiful with many ducks and lots of rolling hills and green blue water . Once we got down to the flat lands it lost its beauty . Mostly just walnut tree orchards and small family ranches with some animals. when we walked along the high school the students were being let out of school we seemed to draw some interests with them joking at us . All in good fun. We found 10 cents.
