but I have started up again and hopefully will manage to do 7-10 miles a day and get to some where around Brenham by the weekend. Will report more on it next weekend.

Got derailed
My virtual walking tour got derailed with illness so I had to return to home base... but I have started up again and hopefully will manage to do 7-10 miles a day and get to some where around Brenham by the weekend. Will report more on it next weekend.

Virtual Trip2
O.K. here's the deal...
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!

virtual trip
I am going on a trip. I am walking from my house to texasblu's house. Now this is a virtual trip in that my dog and I are going to be walking and whatever miles we go in a day will move us closer to our "destination". To make this more fun for everyone I am going to ask for some help I am going to blog about the places I am walking through and would love some ideas of places to stay, visit, eat at and things to do along my journey. this weekend I will post a preliminary map and route I am taking so those of you along my way can shout out some ideas. More on this idea later. But for those of you between Texas and Idaho see you on the road!
