500 Mile  Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!   Here is the last of our scouting pictures.  Dirt roads of Nevada ..... If your not familiar with open lands then seeing cattle on the road may surprise you.  We passed this guy shading himself from the over 90 degree weather we are having.   After the thunderstorms you will find washed out roads, go slow some can be pretty deep.     What is the arrow pointing to?  Let me tell you a little story of how I got to go to The  Mall of America in Minnesota.  Kerry and I were camping in the hills. We started out on a  "little walk" after breakfast.  He kept hiking and I kept following......before we knew it we were mostly up this mountain, in the clouds, walking on shale rock.  I was exhausted and needed to take a break, but Kerry kept going, he left me sitting on the ground resting. He came back to say, "Your almost t...

500 Mile  Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  Progress Report Week 9 It's been another busy week for us.  On our travels we went to Soldier Creek, Nv to get out of the heat.  This is a very pretty road, but beware it is only a one lane dirt road with not many places to turn around.  We figured we would walk along side the road and park the near the creek to rest and put our feet in the water.  The trails are a bit too step for me yet.  Here is a little video of our ride on Soldier Creek road and you will see how tight the road is.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia-Ai9rVar4 Progress Report  Miles walked: 90.4 Kayaking miles : 5.3 Total miles :  95.7 Miles to complete our 500 miles goal:  404.3 Since this summer has been so hot for us, we added kayaking to our miles, and will add cross country skiing in the winter. We thought we should c...

500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  Harrison Pass road trip      Last week while we were scouting out hiking places on the back roads of Nevada, we came across this interesting rock.  It has dents on it, rocks and, money have been laid on top of it.  We have seen to it for years and it's very cool that it is still here.  Kerry says it's a Rock Metate used by the Native Americans to grind nuts and herbs. It may also be a medicine rock for leaving offerings and praying for good health and fortune.  We are still walking towards are 500 Mile Goal, most of our walks are around the Spring Creek Marina which we have shown you before in earlier blogs.   However, now and then when we come across something interesting in our travels we will be sharing those with you as well.   come along a enjoy our back road car trip.  Harrison Pass https://www.yo...

500 Mile Walking Journey with  Kerry and Jean  Let's Get Walking!  It's summertime and we had to adjust our  activities .  Let's get kayaking!!! We made a decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8DAWhnTvg4 our new kayaks  I checked my "Map My Walk" and guess what?  It will record how far we paddle in the water!! We have been kayaking every evening since we bought our kayaks.  It's a whole different exercise for the body and I have to say I'm a bit sore, in a good way of course.  Plus, just for my own curiosity I recorded us walking around Walmart! It's a Super Walmart and it's big from one end to the other. Well to my surprise we walked over a mile just shopping. .......I haven't sold Kerry on the idea that miles we walk together should count even if it's in a store.   But it certainly beats walking in 100 degrees.  Be Inspired, Be Safe and  Let's Get Walking, ...
