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.

Very friendly place. Good food!



Walked from Plymouth, IN to Bourbon, IN through Inwood, IN an 11 mile walk. Walked on what is called Old US 30, or the Historic Lincoln Highway. This is the highway, or trail that my ancestors followed from Lancaster County, PA to get west, sometime in the early 1800's. The Snyder family. Light back pack, what a relief. I walked part way back to Plymouth. Total mileage to date = 425. Attaching some pictures. One is an example of preserved Americana, one is a picture of the restaurant where I had lunch in Bourbon, where I might add a man, two weeks ago, stopped on his walk across America. A friendly place with good food. The other picture speaks to me, if you rotate it, it asks are you on the right track?? The first has been rotated, the second is as it appears. In limbo, waiting to get better and for divine intervention as to what direction to take. Peace, John
