At age 72, I am planning to walk across American to bring awareness of how exercise etc. can help bring about a healthier heart and vascular system, lower blood pressure, etc., and to raise funds, as well, for the American Heart Association. I welcome you to follow me on my journey! My plan for 2010 is to walk from Lewes, DE to St. Louis, MO or further if possible. In 2005 I was leading a sedentary life and weighed 201 lbs. I started walking and then running and lost 36 lbs, significantly lowered my blood pressure, my bad cholesterol, and raised my good cholesterol equally. My journey will commence on or about April 30th. Help the A.H.A. by donating thru the web site: Michianaheartwalk.kintera.org/johnwalksamerica. If all goes well I hope to be in St. Louis sometime in September 2010.

Saturday, October 16th

The end of the trail and the end of an awesome, never to be equaled (by me) ride, where the experiences were rich and the physical demands were great.
Add another 1 1/2 miles to this that took me to the motel where I awaited my extraction team.

Trail rules.
The Calhoun, Mo Grain elevator.
An Amish family on their way to the Friday auction in Windsor. Quite a few of these passed by the B & B.
Note that this cafe has rooms and meals. Not too many offer that combination.
Haven't seen one of these Western Auto signs in ages. I think something else is actually in the building.
Caboose No. 76 in Windsor, MO

The pink room in Fern's B and B. Complete with full bath and whirlpool tub.
