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.

This sign has always puzzled me. Does it mean no trespassing after darkness is over or during darkness? And does it further mean it is OK to trespass any other time or does the word change to mean entering is something other than trespassing at the period not covered by after dark?? It is at the entrance to Oak Hill Cemetary in Plymouth.

This is a picture of our beautiful old courthouse, the picture above is from another side showing how beautiful old buildings can be made aesthetically void, no longer of any value as a historical building.
Walked around town again today 8 1/2 miles, added to yesterday's 5 I now have 438 1/2 miles walked for the heart walk. Tomorrow, all things being favorable, I plan to go south to begin the second leg of the cross Indiana walk, this time following the northern route. I will begin east of US 31 somewhere around Peru, IN and walk northwest. Since I quit the southern route west of US 31 I think the miles covered will be close to equal. Well, I am going to give it a shot. I just have to post a couple more pictures as well. Sorry!
