In celebration of my 50th birthday and as a motivator to get moving again after spinal surgery, I have designed a little adventure. Over the next six months I will virtually walk across the state of Washington, diagonally. I intend on making onsite walks at least once a month and otherwise walking/hiking around home or where ever I happen to be. Pullman to Bellingham, a grand total of 460 miles.
There is a method to my mission here, I promise. In addition to wanting a challenge to get me moving again, I figured it would be fun to trace 50 special places across my home state. It just so happens that this trail winds from the southeast corner to the northwest corner, capturing so many of the diverse landscapes Washington State has to offer. Some may think that certain areas are a little dry, on the wet side, a little barren, too crowded, or insert your opinion here. My experience in recent years has been that if I slow down, breathe, and try to see my surroundings through the lens of an amazing, loving Creator, it is all breathtaking.
The route is mapped, the miles calculated, off we go. Life is a gift and none of us knows how long we have to experience the breadth and depth. I will be thinking of two very special women on my adventure, JJ and Lynn. Both were so very full of life and love. I miss them but am confident I will see them again.
Join me if you wish.
