I am going to be tracking everything I walk everyday and at the end of each week I will post how far I traveled and some of the sights I "saw" along the way. Still trying to figure out how I am going but my first stop will hopefully be Brenham Texas by next Saturday for the bluebell fun run 5k. which means that i have to walk about 50 miles by next Saturday. Which since I have been tracking since Wednesday is now down to about 40 miles so see you in Brenham next week
from Brenham I am not sure if I am going to go mostly north or go northwest. North would take me out of Texas by way of Oklahoma. Northwest would be going out of Texas by way of either New Mexico or ( if I go more north than west) a tiny bit of Oklahoma then Colorado
When I Google going from Montgomery Texas to St Anthony, Idaho I get directions going more north through Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado,Wyoming, then into Idaho. Which makes the trip 1600+ miles (gulp!) But those are driving directions taking interstate highways and not going sight seeing along the way...
Math problem here...if I walk 40-50 miles a week how long will it take me to get to St Anthony? 32-40 weeks!!! so my original thought to get there by the end of summer is probably not gonna happen.
If I change it up and go through New Mexico and Utah I add a little over 100 miles to my trip but which way has the best things to see and do on my virtual trip? Any suggestions from those of you out there? Do I go north or west? I do have at least a month before I will need to decide because it will be that long before I get to the fork in the road for the two paths. I will post some of the preparations I have made for this "trip" next. You know a listing what I packed for this long hike. If you think I need anything in particular feel free to tell me.
OBTW, there was freezing rain in south Texas today!!!! Freezing rain NOT hail! We are having to cover up our poor little plants~~they have no idea what the heck is going on but they need protection from this cold snap!

Personally, I think the prettiest way is going through Raton pass in NM, then headed up through colorado, and then swing through wy to go through idaho.
But that will probably add much milage to your walk. Also, are you accounting for walking over mtns? Or just mileage?
